A Mail Generation Computer (MGC) is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) at a customer site having a mail generation facility. A desktop PC on the LAN, under user control, accesses the MGC and submits a mail job to the MGC via the LAN. The MGC responds to the request and calls various mail piece generation modules needed to implement the request, thus freeing the user's equipment for other uses. The invention includes a job coordinator module for the MGC, to call , run and coordinate the various modules. The system embodied in the server thus allows any user at the customer site to submit a job to a process implemented on the LAN, which generates a finished mail piece or pieces, thus freeing the user from control over each portion of the mail generator process and similarly freeing th e user's equipment for implementing other tasks.
