Auditing to ensure PAF compliance
The Background
The Postal Address File is the most up to date and complete address database in the UK containing over 28 million addresses. The data is licensed to over 200 Solution Providers (SPs) who are required to comply with strict usage terms.
How DQM Group helps..
DQM Group developed a comprehensive audit programme for Royal Mail and have completed over 60 audits. A spokesperson from the team commented, “We had an ambitious programme in place from 2008 to ensure compliance with our licence and that Royal Mail was getting fairly paid for use of its IP. Whilst overall levels of compliance were high there were instances of mislicensing from which we recovered unpaid fees.
The result
Royal Mail has recovered significant amounts of unpaid fees as a result of mislicensing and the activity has ensured Solution Providers have confidence that the license is being fairly applied across the market place.
