Abstract: A system for assessing environmental impact of processing print jobs includes a processor and a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium is in communication with the processor and comprises one or more programming instructions for: electronically receiving a campaign specification data structure including at least one job specification; and operatively selecting a plurality of vendors from a database. Each of the selected vendors is capable of performing a job as operatively specified by the at least one job specification of the campaign specification data structure. The computer-readable storage medium is in communication with the processor and also includes one or more programming instructions for generating a plurality of environmental impact assessments corresponding to the campaign specification data structure. Each of the plurality of environmental impact assessments is operatively associated with one of the selected capable vendors.

Abstract: A computer implemented document-processing system and related method includes a receiving component, a capabilities analysis component, an authorization component and a calculating component. The receiving component receives a campaign-specifications data structure including one or more job specifications. One of the job specifications is associated with a job type selected from a direct mail campaign catalog, a direct mail campaign advertising and a direct mail non-printable service. The capabilities analysis component selects a set of capable entries from a database of vendors such that each selected entry corresponds to a vendor capable of performing one or more jobs of a campaign as operatively specified by one or more job specifications of the campaign-specifications data structure. The authorization component authorizes a set of entries from the database of vendors that conform to a predetermined set of criteria.
