Abstract: A system and method for facilitating access to data systems are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes one or more computer systems programmed to perform operations including providing a database access module and providing a local system. The database access module has a core module in communication with a global database having a plurality of records; and a monitor module in communication with the core module and configured to monitor activities of the core module. The local system includes a socket service for establishing persistent socket connections with the core module and the monitor module; a local database in communication with the socket service and including a subset of the plurality of records; and a user application in communication with the socket service and configured to provide a user with access to the subset of the plurality of records.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for communicating with a plurality of databases. An example method includes: initiating a communication with a database from a plurality of databases; selecting from a plurality of integration templates an integration template corresponding to the database; using the selected integration template to generate a communication procedure corresponding to the communication; and using the communication procedure to provide the communication to the database.
