The FP Group secures new De-Mail customers
- Deliveries of legally admissible electronic letters running for 180
days
- De-Mail products for business and private clients
- Company health insurer mhplus chooses the De-Mail gateway
Birkenwerder, 3 September 2012. Whereas other companies will be presenting
their De-Mail service for the first time at IFA 2012, Mentana-Claimsoft
GmbH, a subsidiary of the listed company Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, has
already spent the past six months gathering extensive experience in this
promising market. As the first accredited De-Mail provider, the company
secured the relevant approvals at CeBIT in March 2012 and has been offering
De-Mail delivery services to its customers ever since. Following a pilot
phase, the FP Group started marketing the product and has already persuaded
several medium-sized companies of the benefits of the legally compliant
transmission of electronic letters.
Company health insurance provider mhplus from Ludwigsburg, Germany, is one
example of a client from the insurance sector that will rely on the FP
Group's solution in future. Following its merger with Gemeinsame
Betriebskrankenkasse Köln (GBK), mhplus now has over 560,000 customers. The
company offers an extensive portfolio of products that covers all areas of
healthcare. This includes statutory health insurance and nursing care
insurance, the provision of cost-effective private supplementary insurance
in conjunction with partners, quality-approved pension benefits both in
Germany and abroad as well as information and support regarding all health
matters.
Andreas Drechsler, CSO of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, explained: 'There
is a great deal of interest in De-Mail. The entry of additional providers
into this promising market will help overcome any remaining concerns people
may have and will increase acceptance levels among companies and private
individuals.' The company believes it is well positioned to take on the
emerging competition. 'The FP Group offers a comprehensive range of
services for analogue and digital mail communication - and De-Mail has a
key role to play here. It enables our customers to process all their
outgoing mail with a single service provider. And the fact that we
ourselves operate as a medium-sized enterprise gives us an edge when it
comes to gaining the trust of other medium-sized customers. That's
something we intend to capitalise on,' says Drechsler.
De-Mail gateway for companies and authorities
Mentana-Claimsoft can implement a De-Mail gateway for companies as well as
authorities. The gateway is integrated as a software element in the
customer's existing IT infrastructure, with custom adaptations also a
possibility. The cost of using the De-Mail gateway depends on the number of
internal users the customer requires. For integration of up to 10 users,
for example, the gateway costs EUR 99 (net) a month.
For private individuals and small businesses, the company offers its
De-Mail portal. This is a web-based solution. Customers simply register and
identify themselves once at www.fp-demail.de. They then receive their own
De-Mail address and can send De-Mails straight away. The identification
process is handled by TNT Post and this collaboration secures a nationwide
network throughout Germany for the FP Group.
The cost of sending a De-Mail via the portal depends on the amount of data
sent and starts at 28 cents (excluding VAT). This is the cost of sending a
'De-Mail mini' message of up to 50 kB. A 'De-Mail standard' message of up
to 1 MB costs 33 cents (excluding VAT) - which is considerably cheaper than
sending a normal standard letter by post. A number of extra options are
also available at a surcharge, including confirmation of delivery or
receipt.
