Administrative remote notification system and method

An apparatus comprising:

• a record-user mapping memory structure which associates for each of a plurality of record identifiers a respective one or more user names;
• a receiving interface for receiving a set of records to be processed for remote notification, each record having a respective record identifier;
• a notification interface adapted to send messages to addressable entities;
• a record processing entity adapted to process the set of records by obtaining the record's record identifier's respective one or more user names from the record-user mapping, and for each user name in the record's record identifier's respective one or more user names obtaining from a user name-addressable entity mapping a respective addressable entity and sending a notification of the record to the addressable entity through the notification interface.

An apparatus comprising:

• a receiving interface for receiving a set of records to be processed for remote notification, each record having a respective record identifier;
• a notification interface adapted to send message to addressable entities;
• a target record memory structure adapted to contain an identification of at least one record identifier for which target record processing is to be performed;
• a record processing entity adapted to process each record in the set of records having a record identifier for which target record name processing is to be performed by reading from the record a target user name, obtaining from a user name-addressable entity mapping a respective addressable entity for the target user name and sending a notification of the record to the addressable entity.
