1. An apparatus for interfacing between a plurality of service modules and a remote services system, the remote services system including an intermediate mid level manager, an applications mid level manager and an application server, the apparatus comprising:
- an intermediate mid level manager application program interface coupled to the intermediate mid level manager, the intermediate mid level manager application program interface allowing service modules to be loaded into the intermediate mid level manager;
an applications mid level manager application program interface coupled to the applications mid level manager, the applications mid level manager application program interface allowing service modules to be loaded into the applications mid level manager; and
an applications server application program interface coupled to the application server, the applications server application program interface allowing service modules to be loaded into the applications server wherein the intermediate mid level manager application program interface, the applications mid level manager application program interface, and the applications server application program interface can each provide a normalization point wherein data is normalized from a system management representation to a remote services representation, and wherein the applications mid level manager is interposed between the intermediate mid level manager and the application server.
