Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide an interface to facilitate the communication between systems. A source system translates data into an XML format and transmits the data to a synchronizer interface tool. The synchronizer tool stores the data in a persistent intermediate storage, such as a queue, allowing the source system to go offline or perform other tasks while the data is transmitted to the target system. The synchronizer tool initiates the transmission of the data to the target system. If the target system indicates that it received the data, then the synchronizer tool sends an acknowledgement to the source system indicating the data was received. If the target system does not receive the transmission, the synchronizer tool maintains the data in the persistent intermediate storage and reinitiates transmission of the data to the target system.
