System and method of communicating data

Abstract

A system and method is provided for communicating data between a source application process and one or more destination application processes. This system and method performs conversion and routing functions which require only a single conversion of all inbound and outbound transmissions regardless of the variety of destinations/sources. The functions also enable changes, additions, and deletions of source/destination application processes to be made without modification of the source/destination application processes and without taking a process off-line. These conversion and routing functions are performed by receiving data in a source format, converting the data to a standard format, identifying one or more destinations in a database using a transaction type, transmitting a copy of the data to each destination, and converting the data to a destination format.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
