Abstract

See full text

A method and system that allows organizations that deal with a substantial volume of incoming mail to digitally capture, organize, prioritize and deliver incoming mail to users more quickly and efficiently than with conventional approaches. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a unique tag is applied to each piece of incoming mail (including parcels). Each piece of mail is then processed, scanned, electronically delivered, and viewed. Relevant information relating to each piece of mail is extracted. The unique tag is used to track the corresponding piece of mail and its related information. Scanning each piece allows users to retrieve and view their mail from any location that allows access to the organization's network. By obtaining relevant information at various points of processing (e.g., from the envelope), the incoming mail can be monitored, released and processed in a controlled and intelligent manner.
