1. A computer-implemented method for providing a universal endpoint address schema to route documents and manage document workflows, said method comprising:

  • by a hardware processor;

    responsive to a user request, creating a global electronic ticket having a globally unique identifier, the global electronic ticket indicating at least one document, at least one destination and at least one document type;

    collecting a plurality of rules from a plurality of databases of rules stored in a memory, the plurality of databases of rules including a first database of rules indexed by destinations and a second database of rules indexed by document types, each respective rule of the plurality of rules loaded from the plurality of databases of rules based on the at least one destination and at least one document type indicated, the plurality of rules including a security rule, a formatting rule, and an audit rule;

    generating a document workflow, identifiable by the globally unique identifier, by generating a plurality of document operations, each of the document operations associated with the plurality of rules collected, the plurality of document operations generated by determining at least one security operation to add to the document workflow by applying metadata of the at least one document to the security rule;

    encapsulating a workflow package including the document workflow, the globally unique identifier, the at least one destination, and an audit trail;

    uploading the workflow package, identified by the globally unique identifier, to a networked computer;

    receiving, from the networked computer, data related to the workflow package;

    automatically performing the plurality of document operations of the workflow package on the at least one document received in the data from the networked computer associated with the global electronic ticket;

    storing, in the audit trail, the plurality of document operations; and

    routing the at least one document to the at least one destination of the request according to the workflow package.
