Abstract
A method and system of integrating a software application over a network include receiving an order for a software system from a user at a server over the network. The process further includes configuring the user's system over the network, and installing the software system over the network. A start up operation may also be performed over the network. The software package delivered according to the invention may in one implementation be a Power Management Control System (PMCS) such as those developed by the General Electric Co.
