Abstract
An electronic commerce system for order acceleration through user document reuse includes one or more document repositories that stores a plurality of user documents. The system also includes a global content directory that includes a plurality of product and document classes organized in a hierarchy where each class categorizes a number of documents and is associated with one or more attributes of the documents categorized in the class. The system further includes a search interface to search the user documents. A security module encrypts the user documents and decrypts the user documents when a buyer has the required permission level. An intelligence module updates one or more sections of the user documents with current information so that a buyer can reuse the user document to accelerate an order.
