Francotyp-Postalia invites entries for 2014 FP De-Mail Innovation Award
- Companies, institutions and individuals can take part
- The closing date for applications is 31 January 2014
- The awards ceremony will be held at CeBIT 2014
Birkenwerder, 19 November 2013. The Francotyp-Postalia Group, an expert in
physical and fully electronic mail communication, has fired the starting
pistol for the 2014 De-Mail Award for Innovation. The prize intends to
honour innovative communication concepts based on De-Mail, the legally
binding form of digital communication in the 21st century. At the same
time, FP wants to encourage a critical debate about De-Mail and the
opportunities for written communication.
Companies, institutions and individuals (students from specialist
disciplines such as communication science or IT, for example) can take part
in the competition. An independent jury will decide who will win the FP
Award in a two-stage process. The jury is made up of four experts from
politics, research, the press and advisory services: Under-Secretary Achim
Hildebrandt from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Prof. Christoph
Meinel from the Hasso Plattner Institute, Christian Schlesiger from the
weekly business magazine, WirtschaftsWoche, and Dr Ulrich Stumpf from the
Scientific Institute for Infrastructure and Communication Services (WIK).
The terms and conditions of participation and application documents are now
available at www.fp-award.de. The closing date for applications is 31
January 2014.
The 2014 De-Mail Award for Innovation will be awarded at CeBIT, which will
take place from 10 to 14 March 2014. As part of this year's CeBIT in
Hanover, the Francotyp-Postalia Group awarded the one-off De-Mail Pioneer
Award to Citkomm, the municipal IT service provider from Iserlohn. Mainly
active in North Rhine-Westphalia for municipalities and non-profit
organisations, Citkomm was quick to identify the opportunities that De-Mail
provides for simple and legally binding communication between citizens and
authorities.
Hans Szymanski, CEO&CFO of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, explains:
'De-Mail is an innovative communication channel with a great deal of
potential. In awarding the prize, we want to honour the pioneers who
recognise the benefits that De-Mail delivers and who highlight
opportunities for collectively optimising written communication processes
within companies or public authorities.'
The FP Group itself is setting a standard for mail communication of the
future with its De-Mail solutions. As a multi-channel supplier, FP is able
to develop the ideal combination of different communication channels for
written communication together with its customers. FP's CEO, Mr Szymanski,
says: 'The more companies and authorities reorganise their processes and
use De-Mail, the more customers and consumers will understand and learn to
appreciate the benefits of the new electronic communication channel. It was
the same situation when online banking was launched - pioneers who inspire
other subscribers and users are needed. We want to honour these pioneers.'

About Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG
The FP Group is the first multi-channel provider for mail communication.
The globally active company offers the entire range of products and
solutions for business and private customers. In addition to standard
machines for franking and inserting mail, its offering includes services

Group currently operates its own branches in a number of industrialised
countries and holds a global market share in franking machines of around
10%. With a history dating back 90 years, the FP Group today benefits
across all markets from the increasing liberalisation of postal markets and

worldwide.
