Postal Services International Ltd. (PSI) was
founded in 1997 by its President, David A. Rawnsley, when he left his
position as Vice President of A.T. Kearney’s LINX Postal Division, to
form a consulting firm that could concentrate on providing specialist
postal knowledge to the posts in developing countries. Incorporated in
Canada under the Canadian Business Corporations Act (Corporation #
339665-7) PSI’s registered office and main place of business is in
Williamstown, Ontario, Canada.
PSI’s focus in recent years has been
the development of an affordable electronic mail service that uses wireless technology
and takes advantage of the existing postal infrastructure for
delivery.
PSI has also been retained by the World Bank to
provide in-depth postal knowledge and has completed a diagnostic of
the Mali post office on their behalf. PSI has also conducted
diagnostic evaluations on SerPost in Peru, AdPostal in Columbia, and SonaPost in Bukina Faso.
Shortly after it was formed in 1998, PSI was
chosen by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a supplier of
consulting services in the area of Mail Operations under its
“Preferred Partner” purchasing program. PSI has subsequently worked
for the USPS on its Delivery Redesign program, its Y2K preparations, a
Productivity Improvement program in its Bulk Mail Facilities, and the
recalculation of national conversion factors.
PSI has
also worked extensively for Canada Post Corporation (CPC). They
developed a Quality Partner Program based on the ISO quality criteria
that allowed postal customers, who qualified under the program, to
bypass certain receiving controls and integrate their activities with
that of CPC for mutual benefit. PSI also acts as a knowledge
resource to CPC on the international mail and postal industry and
provides advice with regard to the application of their Collective
Agreement.
