Digipost, which is Norway Post's digital mail system, has been chosen in stiff competition with other foreign suppliers to provide a high security communication channel for sensitive documents - not only with the government but also with banks and other organizations and enterprises that require safe access and filing of mail.

Digipost already has 300'000 Norwegians registered as users. With the government corresponding digitally from now on with all private individuals and companies, this membership is set to grow drastically.

“Norway Post’s digital mailbox, Digipost, is a good, safe alternative for those that are now going to obtain their own digital mailbox. It’s easy to use and we’ve placed emphasis on the user experience being similar to that of using the physical mailbox we grew up with,” says Mr Dag Mejdell, the Group CEO of Norway Post.

This contract will establish Digipost as a growing business and a serious competitor in the Nordic region. While probably precipitating the decrease of paper mail distribution, this evolution is a good investment into the future. A recent article in the US magazine Business Week, even suggest US Post should take an interest in the Norwegian model.
