Why is Earth Class Mail "mail's most exciting company"?

It comes down to one word: innovation. Few companies in the industry exemplify creativity and technological innovation like Earth Class Mail. A few highlights:

What's the big deal?

We have numerous U.S. and foreign patent-pending innovations in material handling and robotics, process flow, and hosted software applications, allowing document conversion and other outsourced services at a far lower cost than is possible today. Corporations and other large enterprises in particular have been struggling to deal with the only non-digital communication medium left — paper, and the envelopes it arrives in. Given the strong trend for corporations to convert cubicle-housed employee positions to mobile or telecommuting positions (e.g. 17,000 of Sun MicroSystems' 38,000 employees are "flex" workers), and the rising costs of gas and emissions, our solution arrives just in time.
