Abstract: A method is provided for integration of functionality of two or more computer programs and to provide an alternative user interface to these programs. The integration of the functionality of the programs is accomplished through a collection of software modules that homogenize the differences between the individual computer programs and provide a consistent API to the controlling portion of a computer program. Further, the collection of software modules also provides an alternative graphical user interface for each computer program.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for performing data transfer with a destination entity. The system may comprise a generation portion that performs a data set generation process to generate a data set, the data set to be forwarded to the destination entity; a tracking portion that inputs tracking data regarding operations performed on the data set; and a transmission portion, the transmission portion receiving the data set from the generation portion and transmitting the data set to the destination entity, the transmission portion outputting transmission notification information to the tracking portion in conjunction with transmitting the data set to the destination entity. Further, the system may include a communication portion for receiving an acknowledgement from the destination entity, the communication portion outputting any received acknowledgment to the tracking portion.
