This is one place every USPS member should visit in boating cyberspace. The Computer Systems Committee has implemented many other Internet-related services for the benefit of USPS and CPS members. In future articles, ComSysCom will discuss these free services available exclusively to USPS members. In USPS, as in many businesses today, there is considerable debate about where we are going with the Internet. We do know that USPS, like most businesses, must become more involved with the Internet.
Communication is the key to any business or organization.
You can find information faster and easier through a well-designed and constructed website than through archaic menu systems or bizarre commands typed on a computer screen. Empowering members to find their own answers frees the organization of an unnecessary burden, which in turns lowers costs. For members, using websites will keep them informed of what is happening on the national level. The ability to interface with the national database through the Internet will greatly reduce the cost and time it takes to access information, such as rosters and member histories. Then, we will suggest some of the ways USPS can use them.
