Information stored in a corporate database is monitored and used to
determine when certain business-related events have occurred. Event
information is transmitted over the Internet to a print production
facility, where it is used to fire one or more event rules, which in turn
automatically generate print requisitions or print production orders. In
one variation, print requisitions are routed through an existing and
commercially available procurement system before a print production order
is generated. The system can monitor and handle events from multiple
corporations, each having its own business-related event rules, and each
potentially having its own procurement approval system.
