Melissa Data recognizes that there are pivotal geographies to a truly global economy, and has opened offices on the East Coast, and in Europe and Asia as part of its commitment to the international marketplace," said Gary Van Roekel, COO, Melissa Data. "Accurate address information increases response rates, lowers shipping costs, and increases the effectiveness of direct marketing initiatives, yet postal standards and address formats vary from country to country and present a variety of business challenges.
