Abstract:
A method for integrating an arrangement of a number of computerised client systems being independent of each other by permitting communication between the client systems, each client system having a system-specific structure and being adapted to process information in a system-specific native format, the method comprising the steps of:providing an integrating platform accessible to the client systems via a network; providing a primary connection between a user and said integrating platform via said network; describing interactively the client systems to be integrated and transferring said description via said primary connection and said network from the user to said integrating platform; generating, by means of said description, an integrating engine at said integrating platform and a number of communication connections for the exchange of the information between the client systems and said integrating engine; integrating the client systems by means of said integrating engine via said communication connections and said network; and operating the arrangement, whereby information in a system-specific format from one client system is processed in another system-specific format by another client system.
