CA 2405804

A method and system are provided for distributed processing of hybrid mail. There are gateways, that collect and store variable data. There are also system management sites, having storage for fixed data. Also provided are mail production sites. The gateways may be dedicated or shared among customers, and collect variable data for mailings from the customers. The gateways group the data by geographic location, and transmit the variable data to one of the appropriate geographically located mail production facilities. The mail production facility sends a transmission to the system management site, responsive to receiving variable data from the gateway, requesting and receiving the corresponding fixed data. The mail production sites produce mail pieces, including said fixed data and the corresponding variable data. The finished mail pieces are further sorted and produced so as to take advantage of, for example, geographically grouped mailings.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant un traitement réparti de courrier hybride (figure 1). Ce système comprend une passerelle (9), qui collecte et stocke des données variables, un site de gestion du système (3), qui possède une mémoire pour les données fixes, ainsi que des sites de production de courrier (1). La passerelle (9), qui est partagée par les utilisateurs, regroupe les données par emplacement géographique et transmet les données variables à une des installations de production de courrier à emplacement géographique convenable (1). L'installation de production de courrier (1) envoie une transmission au site de gestion du système (3), en réponse à la réception de données variables issues de la passerelle (9), demandant et recevant les données fixes correspondantes. Les sites de production de courrier (1) produisent des éléments de courrier, comprenant les données fixes et les données variables correspondantes. Les éléments de courrier finis sont ensuite triés et produits, en vue d'envois géographiquement groupés.
