MELBOURNE, Australia and BARCELONA, Spain, October 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- DeskDirect Global points the way for postal administrations
worldwide to develop 'green' services via reduced transport and fuel costs
for lower carbon emissions

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. The service operates using a central backbone of high-speed
servers that collect and aggregate mail from mail originators anywhere in the
world and route it to certified mail fulfillment centers as close as possible
to the mail's delivery destination. The result is printed mail that gets to
recipients faster, is easier and cheaper to send, and is truly "green," with
an enormously reduced carbon footprint for printed and delivered mail.

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.

In addition, PrintSoft CEO Mark Worsley and CTO Deb Spring will deliver a
presentation about the future of electronic postal strategies for electronic
desktop mail and international-global hybrid mail during a Post Expo
Technology Workgroup conference session entitled "Mail: Online and Hybrid
Solutions" on Wednesday, 3 October from 14:00 - 16:00. 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. PrintSoft will continue to offer hybrid mail technology
solutions, including award-winning PrintSoft DeskDirect, for direct sale and
implementation, expanding its leading position in this market. Mail
originators, mail fulfillment and delivery providers, and postal
administrations now can choose the PrintSoft hybrid mail software solution or
service that best meets their needs.

"We are conscious of the environmental impact of printed and delivered
mail," comments Mark Worsley, PrintSoft CEO. "Beyond the improved efficiency
and reduced cost benefits of hybrid mail solutions, the "green" benefits make
pursuing a hybrid mail strategy important for corporations and postal
administrations alike. Our un-matched capability and expertise in this
endeavor underscores our commitment to continuing innovation in business
services and solutions to make green mail a reality worldwide."

DeskDirect, PrintSoft's award-winning hybrid mail solution originally
introduced in October 2005, has been implemented by postal administrations in
multiple countries, and has proven its worth with a return on investment of
over 50% for ad hoc document production at the majority of installations.
Australia Post and its eLetter Solutions mail house, for example, experience
millions of dollars in new revenue while providing additional savings to
customers in the production and delivery of desktop mail.
