Story

This organization moved from an older style of one form per country, per language and per document type that resulted in thousands of form templates and hundreds of additional templates that were customized for selected customers.

The original implementation covered 30 countries, 10 languages and 10 different document type. The new solution covers 65 countries, 25 languages, 10 document types and 20 customer level preference settings but instead of increasing the number of templates the new solution was able to reduce the number of templates to 1 master, 1 for each language and then 200 fragments that would be inserted. In the new solution the document is assembled when needed based on the data provided so that it is always current, always accurate and always using the correct country-based requirements, language base requirements and customer specific requirements.
