Methods and systems for monitoring document-production processes

摘要

Methods and systems are provide monitoring information for a document-production process. A query requesting status information for production of an identified document is received with a production-monitoring computer. A queriable data store includes status data received periodically for multiple documents that includes the identified document from distinct sources. Each of the distinct sources is configured to provide information related to a subprocess of the document-production process. Status data are retrieved from the queriable data store in accordance with the query with the production-monitoring computer. The retrieved status data are transmitted from the production-monitoring computer as a response to the query.
