Abstract: A method for formatting and distributing electronic data through a middleware system. A data unit received by the middleware system from an originating system is converted into a formatted data unit and forwarded to a primary destination system. A primary destination identification is retrieved from an information table of the data unit. The primary destination identification is compared to a destination identification in a register of destination systems for a plurality of destination systems. If the primary destination identification matches the destination identification of one of the plurality of destination systems, then formatting specifics for the primary destination system are retrieved from the register of destination systems. The data unit is then converted into the formatted data unit according to the formatting specifics of the primary destination system and the formatted data unit is sent to the primary destination system.
