         New Technology Enables Instantaneous Delivery of Key
        Information on Advanced Print/Mail Finishing Solutions

     The Production Mail and Document Factory Solutions Division of

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) is employing innovative webcasting technology at this year's Xplor Conference to give all customers immediate access to a comprehensive series of presentations which details the full scope of the firm's enterprise message management solution.

"Xplor is one of the best venues available to learn about the latest advances in print/mail finishing technologies," says Lenore O'Connor, Director of Worldwide Marketing of Production Mail and Document Factory Solutions. "But some customers are unable to attend the conference, or have conflicts that prevent them from attending all key sessions."

"By webcasting our presentations, we can assure that all of our customers--whether they are attending Xplor or not--have immediate access to the latest information on how they can employ enterprise-wide messaging management strategies to boost productivity, lower costs and improve mailpiece effectiveness."

Instantly Available to Employees and Peers

"Plus, the webcasts will enable our customers to share this vital information with other key people in their organizations, such as employees in the print/mail finishing unit and peers and internal customers in the IT, marketing and various business units who interact with the print/mail finishing center."

The webcasts will feature presentations by Pitney Bowes executives and managers who are participating in the Xplor International 20th Global Conference & Exhibit, held November 2-4 in Los Angeles.

The presentations will be available to all attendees at the conference, who can easily access and view the presentations via PC at the Pitney Bowes booth, No. 1335. Customers and other document production professionals who cannot attend Xplor can view the same presentations at the Pitney Bowes web site (www.pitneybowes.com) both during and after the conference.
