Abstract

A modular appliance based architecture is disclosed that allows for database consolidation and systems integration. The collaborative data appliance comprises modules designed to collect and combine data which is relevant to the user, uniquely arranging the data into meaningful views which can be later customized into a multitude of reports. The appliance utilizes a customized data code that allows the appliance to span the disparate databases it will consolidate. The appliance also allows a user to share information across systems in a heterogeneous environment by replicating data between different hardware platforms and data sources, without losing the integrity of the data. Further, the appliance comprises a discovery engine that utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI), and that requires User Input (UI).
