In an effort to improve service, consolidate vendors and reduce overall operating costs, IBM Mainframe Solutions have been introduced for businesses with support for CICS. The fact is that Mainframe users have been demanding a cost effective option that offered a higher level of technical support for their USPS CASS Certified Batch and the CICS capabilities, which is now what is being offered.
While this is, by no means, new software, having first been introduced back in 2006, it has been continually upgraded to deliver much more powerful solutions for IBM Mainframe users in regard to change of address processing, standardization and address correction. These capabilities have providing for significant increases in the overall production speed, as well as the flexibility seamlessly being able to expand a business’s total production capacity.
For a good number of years, there was not type of alternative to the Pitney Bowes Code- Plus or the Finalist address standard software for IBM Mainframe Users. However, with the demand increasing as years past, the new offerings of software were created.
In addition to offering an alternative solution for these users, this software comes along with exceptional technical support to ensure user satisfaction.
The Lookup Tool Used for CICS
One of the most appealing features of the solutions that are now available include the ability to access real time address matching and the functionality for database inquiries in an environment that is easy to use and interactive. With the custom address matching capabilities, users are able to match an address they input against the current postal data information.
The return codes are then able to be analyzed for determining the actions that need to be taken in order to make a match or to determine the reason that there was not a successful match, which will help the users to better understand the reason that an address they have is showing up as not being correct.
The capabilities offered by the CICS Lookup include:
* Cities that are in a Zip code or state
* Zip codes in a particular city
* Specific streets located in a city or Zip code
* The various address ranges that are on a certain street, located in a particular city or Zip code
* Firms that are in a city or Zip code
When looking for this type of solution for your IBM Mainframe it is a good idea to ensure that it does what it claims.
