Abstract

Reliable and secure transmission of information over the Internet is provided in a financial transaction processing system. The system electronically integrates data captured in heterogeneous information systems and transmits that data reliably and securely over the Internet between multiple diverse servers. The system includes at least one local computer system which electronically captures information input by a user of the computer system. The local computer system can access one or more remote servers via the Internet for form a dynamically reconfigurable wide area network (WAN). The remote servers electronically transfer data to heterogeneous information systems translated into their natural communications protocol and data format.
