Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for managing electronic contracts and data. Specifically, the present invention relates to a computer system for generating and managing secondary contracts. The computer system may comprises a memory, a communication device operatively coupled to the memory to receive primary contract data from a secure document repository and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be operatively coupled to the communications device for extracting customer data from the primary contract and generating a secondary contract by populating a form contract with the customer data extracted from the primary contract; wherein the secondary contract is stored to the secure document repository and reconciled with data received from a third party to ensure data accuracy.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for generating and managing secondary contracts, comprising:

receiving a primary contract from a secure document repository;

extracting customer data from the primary contract;

using a processor to generate a secondary contract by populating a form contract with the customer data extracted from the primary contract; and

storing the secondary contract to the secure document repository;

wherein data stored to the secure document repository is reconciled with data received from a third party to ensure data accuracy.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

prompting a user to provide additional customer data.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the primary contract is a service contract and the secondary contract is a equipment contract.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the processor organizes and displays the primary and secondary contracts in chart format via a display device.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the third party is a government agency.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a user interface device is coupled to the processor to facilitate interaction with a user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein the user interface device includes at least one of the following:

buttons;

switches;

a keyboard;

a light pen;

a mouse;

a magnetic card reader;

or a digitizer and a stylus.

8. A computer system for generating and managing secondary contracts, comprising:

a memory;

a communication device operatively coupled to the memory to receive primary contract data from a secure document repository; and

at least one processor, operatively coupled to the communications device for extracting customer data from the primary contract and generating a secondary contract by populating a form contract with the customer data extracted from the primary contract;

wherein the secondary contract is stored to the secure document repository and reconciled with data received from a third party to ensure data accuracy.

9. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to a user to request additional customer data from a user.

10. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the primary contract is a service contract and the secondary contract is a equipment contract.

11. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the primary and secondary contracts are organized and displayed in chart format.

12. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the third party is a government agency.

13. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising a user interface device for facilitating interaction with a user.

14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the user interface device includes at least one of the following:

buttons;

switches;

a keyboard;

a light pen;

a mouse;

a magnetic card reader;

or a digitizer and a stylus.

15. A computer-implemented method for generating and managing contracts, comprising:

receiving first customer data from a secure document repository through a communication channel;

receiving second customer data from a user via a user interface device;

using a processor to populate a contract with the first and second customer data according to a predetermine algorithm; and

storing the contract to the secure document repository;

wherein data stored to the secure document repository is reconciled with data received from a third party to ensure data accuracy.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising the step of:

prompting a user to provide additional customer data.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the primary contract is a service contract and the secondary contract is a equipment contract.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the processor organizes and displays the primary and secondary contracts in chart format via a display device.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the third party is a government agency.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the user interface device includes at least one of the following:

buttons;

switches;

a keyboard;

a light pen;

a mouse;

a magnetic card reader;

or a digitizer and a stylus.
