Modern USPS-Certified Postal & Address Processing Natively on Your IBM z/OS Mainframe

No hardware-upgrade fees. No per-user charges. Just powerful, mainframe-native address and postal processing with full support.

Problem many mailers face

High cost of hardware upgrades or extra mainframes just to scale postal processing

Rising per-user or per-group license charges as teams grow

Pricing based on CPU/MIPS or LPAR units — penalizing heavy usage or growth

Inefficient use of mainframe features or constraints on environment configuration

Slow or inflexible support, especially for enterprise clients

Difficulty migrating from competitor software or fear of data migration hassles

 

How Anchor solves it

No compliance fees for hardware upgrades or additional mainframes. You scale without surprise costs.

No extra charges for additional users or groups — license covers your organization, not just seats.

Costs based on software license only, not MIPS partitions or LPAR units. Predictable & fair pricing.

Takes full advantage of mainframe capabilities (e.g. CICS, z/OS environment) — no restrictions on configuration.

24/7/365 unlimited support by phone or email. Always-on support when you need it.

Professional services to help with conversion. We handle the heavy lifting so you can switch smoothly.

How Anchor Stacks Up vs Existing Competitors

Create a comparison section (maybe a table or cards) where you show Anchor vs established players like Finalist, CODE-1 Plus, VeriMove, and Qcode / competitor mainframe-postal solutions (or similar). Use honest/real differentiators:

  • Pricing model — competitor products often tie costs to CPU, partitions or per-user, especially on non-mainframe platforms. For example, competitor solutions are known for CASS certifications and must comply with certain license/usage models. 

  • Complexity & constraints — some competitors restrict configurations, certified parameter sets, or require extra steps or forms for USPS compliance. 

  • Performance & resource usage — Anchor’s product suite (e.g. MaxCASS OS, MaxPresort OS) runs natively on mainframe under z/OS, optimized for mainframe throughput. 

  • Scalability & flexibility — Anchor does not impose extra cost for additional mainframes or users; license is simpler and more predictable.

  • Support & services — 24/7 global support plus professional services for conversion help — a big advantage if you’re migrating from older solutions. (You’ll highlight this as part of Anchor’s offering.)
