Abstract

L'invention concerne un système permettant d'intégrer des ressources multiples dans un environnement de fournisseurs de services. Ce système comprend au moins un adaptateur original, au moins un adaptateur de réception et un moteur de gestion des flux de travaux destiné à recevoir une demande de service à partir de l'adaptateur original au moins et à envoyer des instructions à au moins un adaptateur de réception, pour exécuter la demande de service. Ce système comprend également au moins une règle commerciale en communication avec le moteur de gestion des flux de travaux qui fournit séquentiellement les instructions envoyées par le moteur de gestion des flux de travaux pour exécuter la demande de service.A system for integrating multiple resources into a service provider environment is provided. The system includes at least one original adapter, at least one receive adapter, and a workflow management engine for receiving a service request from at least the original adapter and for sending instructions to at least one adapter. reception, to execute the service request. The system also includes at least one business rule in communication with the workflow management engine which sequentially provides the instructions sent by the workflow management engine to execute the service request.
