Abstract

The present invention relates to a collaboration apparatus between information processing systems for allowing a plurality of information processing systems to collaborate with each other without awareness of the difference in architecture, and an integrated information processing system in which a plurality of information processing systems are combined by using such a collaboration apparatus between information processing systems. In the case of allowing an SFA system (30) to collaborate with an ERP system (10) in the integrated information processing system including a plurality of information systems, an intersystem collaboration object (40) of the collaboration apparatus between information processing systems generates an active role (51) corresponding to a system of a collaboration origin and a passive role (52) corresponding to a system of a collaboration target, generates a relating object (53) between these roles in accordance with collaboration information defining a communication method between information systems, and transmits a transaction between the active role (51) and the passive role (52).
