The question itself needs only 2 lines, but let me give some background first

**** Introduction/Scope:

Before a company sends out a mailing (direct marketing), some
softwares out there can help to check/correct/enrich customers
addresses by
- comparing them to postal norms (in the US: ?CASS?, ?PAVE?, etc...)
- deduplicate
- enrich the address (complete ZIP codes, names of street, point of
delivery, etc...)
- presort batches of letter (to get discounts from the post)
- ...

This is called "address hygiene" or "address quality" or "address
verification" or ...
Examples of that kind of software : 'Bulk Mailer' from Satori
Software, 'Mail Manager 2010' from BCC Software, Uniserv in Europe,
etc...

In some countries, you can apply for postal discounts (cheaper
postage) if you use such a software to improve the quality of your
addresses. But of course it has to be certified by the postal
authority of the country.


I'm looking for the list of those softwares (any format pdf, doc, xls,
links?) that are certified in this sense. I have already found the
answer quite easily for

- the USA (http://www.ribbs.usps.gov/files/ where you find the list
for address normalization softs --> 'CASS'link, and for presorting
softs --> 'PAVE' link)

- CANADA
(http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pdf/getpdf.asp?pdf=/offerings/address_management/pdf/serp-e.pdf&lang=e
)

- and FRANCE

**** Question

I'm now looking for the list of softwares that are certified in this sense
in GERMANY (name of the incumbent post there : Deutsche Post)

Hint: the leader of this business in Germany seems to be a software
company named 'Uniserve GmBH'

Remark :If there is no such certification process in Germany and that
you can somehow prove it this is as valuable to me!

Extra scope (for extra TIP?) :
if such businesses/standards exist in those countries (this
information itself being of some value to me?) :
- Belgium
- Netherlands


Good luck!
