              Pitney Bowes Continues to Enhance Suite of

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today introduced the next generation of its Internet postage product - ClickStamp(R) Online 2.0.

Raymond Boggs, vice president of small office/home office research at IDC, a Massachusetts-based market research firm, said, "Small businesses are increasingly comfortable using the Internet for a wide range of tasks, and when applications can work with each other in a logical way, that's icing on the cake." As more small firms apply advanced technology to their mailing chores, they will naturally want to build on basic capabilities in a variety of ways.
