Anchor Software now offers its USPS Certified Products to operate on IBM Mainframe computers, as the only viable option to the previously single provider of Postal Processing and Address Standardization solutions for Mainframe Users.  The increasing demand by Mainframe users for a cost effective alternative with a high level of technical support helped to shape Anchor's very successful Mainframe products, which includes USPS CASS Certified Batch and CICS capabilities.  MaxCASS (for Mainframe) is used by many Fortune 1,000 companies for Postal Processing and Address Quality.

Organization wide initiatives to consistently improve service, consolidate vendors, and lower operating costs, were the driving forces behind Anchor Software’s reason for developing its IBM Mainframe solutions, which includes support for CICS.

Anchor Software first certified MaxCASS for use on IBM Mainframes in 2006, and, since that time, it has continued to deliver new and more powerful IBM Mainframe solutions for address correction, standardization and change-of-address processing. Those capabilities provide for dramatic increases in overall production speed and the flexibility to seamlessly expand production capacity. Technical information about this software can be found in our MaxCASS for Mainframe technical information sheet.

For many years there were no alternatives to Pitney Bowes’ Code-1 Plus and Finalist address standardization software on IBM MVS, z/VSE and os/390 systems. The increasing demand for a choice by members of the Mainframe community helped to shape the current suite of Mainframe offerings by Anchor Software. Organization wide initiatives to consistently improve service, consolidate vendors, and lower operating costs, were the driving forces behind Anchor Software’s reason for developing its IBM Mainframe solutions.

Coupled with Anchor Software’s unparalleled technical support, these new products are in the forefront of applications for the future. Numerous organizations have evaluated Anchor Software’s Mainframe products by performing benchmarks and the resulting conclusions are that there is no loss in functionality and all results are consistent with the existing systems.
