MELBOURNE, Australia and BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 1 -- PrintSoft (http://www.printsoft.com/) a business of Australia Post and established leader in hybrid mail technology and personalized mail solutions, today launches a new service, DeskDirect Global, to provide e-delivery of mail worldwide.

PrintSoft is unveiling DeskDirect Global to the postal market and is showcasing its other innovative postal solutions at the International Postal Technology Exhibition - Post Expo 2007 stand 1400 running 2-4th October 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. Demonstrations on PrintSoft's stand at Post Expo also feature innovative and cost-effective solutions from eLetter Solutions, Australia Post's mail house, and other software products from PrintSoft's line-up of award winning, scalable solutions for creating, managing, and printing personalized direct mail and transpromotional communications.

The presentation outlines opportunities for postal administrations to increase mail volume, improve service quality and develop new revenue streams. It highlights how global hybrid mail can become a "green" path for postal administrations to become more environmentally friendly by reducing carbon emissions resulting from lower transport and fuel consumption.
DeskDirect Global offers easy access and new business opportunities to mail originators, mail fulfillment centers and postal administrations in a truly revolutionary business model. The service is backed by the experience of Australia Post and established PrintSoft technology for hybrid mail management.
