Title:	Postal IT Directions Strategic Study

Objectives:	Objective: The intention of the study is to research how the new technologies may transform lives in the broadest sense. Postal Operators will face dramatic changes in their core business. The working place of postal workers and the quality of their workplace and tasks will change. But also for the citizens that are in contact with the posts, there will be many changes such as new services and possibilities. Postal operators play a crucial role in the economic cycle of today in both businesses and households. Postal Operators are on a daily basis in contact with an enormous number of European citizens. The interaction between these two parties, through new digital services, helps to bring new technologies closer to all European businesses and citizens and will accelerate its introduction and general acceptation. The aim of the study is to look at the role postal operators can play in the aforementioned process and to propose concrete solutions and business strategies.
