Jersey Post

 

In September 2001, Jersey Post selected WebRiposte Essential™ to automate its post office network and to re-engineer its counter and back-office processes. Jersey Post chose WebRiposte as its platform to grow and diversify its revenue base, deliver operational efficiency, and improve service.

In addition to the software license, Escher Group will provide the Post with legacy-free hardware.The term legacy-free refers to the industry-wide initiative to replace some of the older components of a traditional PC-architecture with newer, more intelligent technology. Microsoft, Intel, Compaq, IBM, and other key PC-industry members spearheaded the legacy-free initiative. The goal is to reduce total cost of ownership by simplifying the PC; for example, by providing "plug and play" peripheral support. WebRiposte's new "POS and Play" facility allows older point-of-sale peripherals with legacy interfaces as well as newer peripherals that support current industry standards to interoperate seamlessly with legacy-free workstations. This significantly reduces a post office's ongoing costs of peripheral management, and frees them from keeping the hardware configuration constant.

 

"The WebRiposte implementation is a key part of our commitment to streamline processes and provide the most efficient and comprehensive service to our customers. We are also excited to be pioneering a legacy-free postal network. Our organization will serve as an example to other posts that wish to develop a cost-effective, more stable computing environment."
