Abstract
The invention described comprises a method and system for the centralized management and decentralized execution of information and data distribution on a global scale. Managing and distributing information with a system begins with receiving a request for access to the system from a user at a multi-access manager and determining whether the request for access to the system is an approved request. A catalogue of at least one source server is displayed if the request for access to the system is approved, wherein each source server may be remote from the multi-access manager and is coupled to a respective information source. Each source server has authorized the user to access data received at the respective information source. A source server selection is received from the user. The request for data requests data accumulated at the information source coupled to the selected source server. The data is converted to a standard format, encrypted at the selected source server and transmitted from the selected source server to the user. Data can be provided either in generally immediate response to a request or, in the future, based on a schedule or the occurrence of a particular event.
