Postcode Anywhere is a software company which was set up in 1999.

With an impressive blue-chip customer base made up of high-street brands, public sector organisations and high profile charities e.g. Flybe, First Choice Holidays, National Savings & Investments, Cosmos, The Learning & Skills Council, the Identity and Passport Service, Oxfam, UNICEF and British Heart Foundation, Postcode Anywhere is now recognised globally as a leading web service provider.

As early adopters of the .Net framework, we recognised that web based technologies could provide a faster, cheaper and more convenient way of delivering data than CD-based solutions. We currently service over 100 million transactions a year with 99.999% availability providing access to numerous useful datasets to customers all over the world.

By providing access to data as part of a centrally managed service all of the information is automatically and regularly updated via the internet making in-house updates and costly downtime a thing of the past.

The company has been a major advocate of a pay-as-you-go service for data which we believe creates a simpler and more cost-effective licensing model for the customer, whilst also enabling us to also combine lots of different data together under one service, making it altogether much more useful.

In recognition of the impact that our service has had, we have been used by Microsoft to highlight the benefits of using the .NET platform (read the case study or watch the video).

We've also won several technology awards in recognition of our market-leading web services.
