The PostalOne system helps integrate business mail handling - a $40 billion annual business

The government solutions unit of Canadian network builder Nortel says it has been awarded a one-year IT services contract by the US Postal Service (USPS) for an estimated $6 million (£3,021,450).  

This extension for services to support the PostalOne automated mail handling system follows a one-year, $9.6 million (£4.83m) extension in 2006.

The PostalOne system helps integrate and optimise business mail handling - a $40 billion (£20.14bn) annual business for USPS. It also provides financial management data, as well as online access to tracking and status information for both USPS and its business customers.

Nortel government solutions chief executive Chuck Saffell said: “We're continuing to work with the Postal Service, not only to keep PostalOne running efficiently, but also to provide new applications and enhancements designed to help raise the level of customer service,"
