STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2008--Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) is highlighted as one of the industry's significant leaders in the document technology arena in a new report from Madison Advisors called TransPromo Workflow Solutions: An Emerging Market Defined.

"Pitney Bowes places a critical focus on the value of providing a single view of the customer at the front end of its Transpromo workflow solution architectural roadmap. Using high-quality data analytics, Pitney Bowes software derives a single view of a customer and uses that view to drive Transpromo messaging," said Steve Watters, principal analyst on the Madison Advisors report. "Customers with entrenched document composition platforms as well as service bureaus and in-house mailers with multiple document composition platforms that receive print-ready files for print fulfillment may benefit from the Pitney Bowes solution."

Transpromo is an emerging trend in the production print and mail industry in which enterprises add value to their customers' monthly statements by incorporating highly targeted and relevant promotional messages directly on their transactional documents. This helps them improve customer relationships and reduce overall costs by optimizing the use of the mailstream as a customer communication channel.

"We continue to drive innovation in an effort to help our clients make the most of their customer communications," said Patrick Brand, President of Pitney Bowes Document Messaging Technologies. "We are delighted to be recognized by Madison Advisors, a truly independent voice in the mailstream industry."

According to Watters, "Pitney Bowes's architecture provides Web-based tools for the customization of promotional mail and marketing message creation. These tools provide a strong approach to Transpromo marketing campaign creation."
