Their were three main competitors in the Direct "Junk" Mail industry:
Group One, LPC
and Postal Soft. Pitney Bowes bought LPC so Group One went with a
holding company
to get the revenue to compete. Apparently didn't work as Group One
is now owned by
Pitney Bowes. Not sure what happened to Postal Soft.
The CASS certification was originally 99.5% and was slowly increased
to 99.8% of
addresses had to be corrected to get the bulk mail discounts.
Finalist was the LPC product, Group One has Code-1, then Code-1
plus. They both
had scaled down version that only dealt with Z+4, barcodes, etc and
some demographic
software among about 27 products.

You might check with Group 1 as they had/have a lot of products that
competed with Pitney-Bowes. One of the companies bought
the other. Off the top of my head, I don't remember. Group 1's offering
may be Mailstream.

Probably better reviewed over on isvcosts list. Might also depend
on what objective is. I didn't like Group-1's processing capabilities but
part of the USPS certification is that your
Address file be 85% accurate with ZIP codes. They have software
to do that by region or country.
