All software solutions must be developed with certain philosophies in mind. The defined philosophies drive all aspects of the solutions development. In Assurety's case, for our Full Service Intelligent Mail solutions, we are constantly striving to develop solutions that make it easier and simpler to conduct day-to-day business. We strive to remove manual data entry from all our software solutions, allow the user to define business rules where ever possible to allow for quick decision making, and architect solutions for beyond desktop environments; so that the solutions can be used in enterprise environments where more scalability is required. We have chosen technologies and architectures to make it easier for the user to automatically update Assurety's Intelligent Mail (IM barcode®) solutions and the software reference data from the postal service is also downloaded automatically, removing manual processing.
