Abstract

Methods and apparatuses enable linking stateful transactions with multiple separate systems. The first and second stateful transactions are associated with a transaction identifier. Real time data from each of the multiple systems is concurrently presented within a single operation context to provide a transparent user experience. Context data may be passed from one system to another to provide a context in which operations in the separate systems can be linked.
