The result of that initial effort is now visible through the growing activities of the Postal Technology Centre and its five Regional Support Centres operating in Africa, Asia, Europe, Caribbean and Latin America. The PTC is supporting over 70 postal operators worldwide with its products and services, the key ones being the International Postal System (IPS), the International Financial System (IFS), its global telecommunications network POST*Net, and its POST*Mail, POST*Star, and POST*Info services.

He played a key role in the definition of IBM's "Directory Assistance" and "Intelligent Network" product strategy, in the preparation of the related marketing and business plans, and in the definition of the products’ architecture. Other significant achievements were accomplished in the areas of Common Channel Signalling System No. 7 (CCITT #7), X.400 Public Message Handling Systems, and Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN). During his last period with IBM, Mr. Jabbour was part of the core group of experts that developed, marketed and successfully implemented the technical foundation of the Amadeus system.

Mr Stefan Lindholm

 

Stefan Lindholm is Vice President, Corporate Business Development, Sweden Post.

Stefan is responsible for strategic and international business development.

 

Sweden Post, a fully deregulated company since 1994, is in the forefront of using technology to improve its business services in Sweden as well as on an international basis.  The company provides world-class services for physical and electronic mail, EDI, parcels and internet banking & payment services. Sweden Post has developed address directory services for physical and email services, both available and well used by customers.

 

Stefan’s position requires involvement in most Post organisations, such as International Data Post, Universal Postal Union and IPC.  Mr Lindholm is an active member of Commercenet Europe, Swebizz – the Swedish association for internet trade and a few EU-projects. 

 

Together with colleagues in Finland, Norway and Denmark, he initiated the creation of the Nordic Post Security Services group, now called the PSS and since some time a base for the UPU global security services.

 

Stefan invented the combined “street and internet email address”, named @post and later on the idea of the .POST TLD  to support  the internet becoming an everyday global infrastructure for the everyday person.

 

On behalf of Sweden Post his aim is to enable Posts with similar strengths in the Information Technology generation as they have in the physical world.  Particularly, to ensure that customers of any Post are provided a global and interoperable secure service throughout the world, like what is offered in today’s physical services. This goal demands that the Posts unify under basic IT standards for electronic services, .POST being one, equal to what they have always done to secure interoperability of physical services.

 

Prior to Stefan joining the Sweden Post, he spent many years with Xerox, Ericsson and AT&T, in company management and senior executive positions. Stefan’s job positions have allowed him and his family to spend approximately 10 years outside of Sweden. Many of these years in England with some shorter assignments in other parts of the world.
