With an impressive blue-chip customer base made up of high-street brands, public sector organisations and high profile charities e.g. Flybe, First Choice Holidays, National Savings & Investments, Cosmos, The Learning & Skills Council, the Identity and Passport Service, Oxfam, UNICEF and British Heart Foundation, Postcode Anywhere is now recognised globally as a leading web service provider.
As early adopters of the .Net framework, the company recognised that web based technologies could provide a faster, cheaper and more convenient way of delivering data than CD-based solutions. They have now delivered over 100 million billable transactions to their customers with 99.999% availability and provide access to numerous datasets to clients all over the world.
By providing access to data as part of a centrally managed service all of the information is automatically and regularly updated via the internet making in-house updates and costly downtime a thing of the past.
The company has been a major advocate of a pay-as-you-go service for data which creates a simpler and more cost-effective licensing model for the customer, whilst enabling them to combine lots of different data together under one service.
Postcode Anywhere has been used by Microsoft to highlight the benefits of using the .NET platform and have won several technology awards in recognition of their market-leading web services.
