Australia Post and Telstra have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see the ISP become a participant in Australia Post’s Digital Mailbox system.

 

The MoU will also enable Australia Post to use use Australian based hosting and network services, while Telstra expects to be able to boost its capability to deliver more products and services through the Australia Post IT network.

 

Launching later this year, the Australia Post Digital MailBox will enable consumers to connect to their secure, individual MailBox anywhere, anytime to receive statements and bills, set reminders and make payments using any internet enabled device.

 

As part of this memorandum, Telstra will also work with Australia Post towards an agreement for the Digital MailBox service to be hosted on Telstra’s Australian based secure cloud computing platform.

 

 

 “Part of our digital customer strategy is to provide our customers with access to information through a variety of channels of their choice. The Australia Post Digital MailBox will extend this choice to complement our existing digital options such as our website, and mobile applications,” Telstra CEO David Thodey said.

 

“Telstra is investing more than $800 million across the next five years to further grow our cloud computing services. We are very pleased Australia Post has chosen to work with us on finalising an agreement that will see the new Digital MailBox Service hosted on the secure Telstra cloud computing platform.”
