New mailing service introduced

The state-owned postal service, Perum Pos dan Giro,
introduced electronic business mail, a new service offering speed
and accuracy of delivery, yesterday.

Director General of Post and Telecommunications Djakaria
Purawidjaja told reporters after officially starting the service
at the city's main post office building in Central Jakarta that
Perum Pos dan Giro will keep on offering better service to the
public in order to counter fierce competition from courier firms.

The electronic business mail service encompasses the
electronic laying out, printing and folding of specific business
materials, as well as their stamping before they are delivered by
postmen.

The company's president, Marsoedi, told reporters that the
contents of the specific letters should be similar. He said the
service was perfect for promotion and billing mailings.

Marsoedi said that Perum Pos dan Giro leases equipment from
Siemens Nixdorf, whose machines can produce 10,000 letters per
hour. (icn)
