Information system comprised of synchronized software application moduless with individual databases for implementing and changing business requirements to be automated
First Claim
1. A method of establishing an information system comprised of;
- a. one, or a plurality of self-contained stand-alone modules, b. a central data integration and messaging server, to allow said modules to communicate with each other, and to existing applications and databases, and c. a series of connecting devices for each of said modules, as well as other applications and databases, interfacing them via a network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) to a central data integration and messaging server.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for a fully integrated Information System (IS) with modules for each business activity, that can be used individually or grouped in a suite of modules, each module containing its own individual database, and connected via a middleware-like integration device, or Enterprise Service Bus, for network based data synchronization and communications, that connect the modules to each other and to existing ERP, CRM, data warehouse and custom legacy systems. Each module therefore acts more efficiently since it is not burdened by the tasks of interfacing with the hardware platforms and operating systems, which are assigned to the programs in the integration server. These smaller and more flexible modules work together and automatically update all related applications, databases and users, when data is entered into one. The modules are quickly implemented as they are written from libraries of core functionality from existing programming code that were developed for implementing similar business requirements, added to custom code, thus quickly and inexpensively implementing precise individual business requirements, fully integrated with the existing legacy IS environment. The invention is considered a next generation ERP technology that can easily adapt to new requirements as market places and best practices dictate. It is called SAIDware and it is especially suited for the migration of legacy systems to more modern platforms, facilitating their step-by-step replacement as time and budgets allow.

12. The method of establishing any ERP or custom designed system with a built-in middleware-like integration server, providing a means for synchronization and communications with existing legacy applications, databases and users to connect and integrate them as an integral (and integrated) part of its design, without the need for external and/or additional middleware or Enterprise Service Bus type devices.
