Point-of-need document production system and method

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a computer-implemented method of producing a document for a customer at a point-of-need, the method comprising:

• selecting an intelligent template for the document from the point-of-need, the inteligent template including at least one variable data field;
• merging data of the customer with the intelligent template for the document to create an intelligent document, including filling the at least one variable data field based on the data of the customer and adjusting the at least one variable data field to accommodate the data of the customer;
• and
• producing the document for the customer at the point-of-need based on the intelligent document.

A computer-implemented system for producing a document for a customer at a point-of-need, the system comprising:

• an intelligent template enablement module accessed from the point-of-need, wherein the intelligent template enablement module facilitates selection of an intelligent template for the document from the point-of-need;
• an intelligent document creation module accessed from the point-of-need and associated with the intelligent template enablement module, wherein the intelligent document creation module is adapted to merge data of the customer with the intelligent template for the document to create an intelligent document;
• and
• a document production module located at the point-of-need and associated with the intelligent document creation module, wherein the document production module is adapted to produce the document for the customer at the point-of-need based on the intelligent document
• wherein the intelligent template for the document includes at least one variable data field, wherein the intelligent document creation module is adapted to fill the at least one variable data field based on the data of the customer and adjust the at least one variable data field to accommodate the data of the customer.
