  • Delivery Technology Advocacy Council Overview
  • Today’s mail preparation requirements are complex and rely heavily on advanced technology to take full advantage of workshare discounts for timely, predictable delivery of mail. The Delivery Technology Advocacy Council (DTAC) was formed by leaders in the mailing and shipping industry who recognized the increasing importance of technology in delivery services as well as Postal Operations.  In this special session for ARMCUMS members, DTAC president Mike Plunkett and DTAC Secretary Chris Lien will discuss how DTAC is actively helping to guide and enhance mission critical standards such as Mail.dat and Mail.xml to further improve the preparation and deliverance of the mail.

Session Takeaway:  This session will help explain why DTAC was formed and how participating mail owners and mailing service providers are further enhancing and leveraging industry standards such as Mail.dat and Mail.xml to prepare highly optimized mail to achieve the deepest postage discounts.
