Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented system and method for data exchange management. The method may incorporate a physical data exchange management system and/or a logical data exchange management system. The method may include storing a data exchange profile for each communicating entity, receiving a request for data exchange from one of the communicating entities, and processing the request through a request handler for handling receipt of data exchange requests from the communicating entities, wherein the request handler accesses a relevant data exchange profile for the requesting communicating entity. The method may additionally include formatting data for exchange in accordance with the relevant data exchange profile and delivering the formatted data to a destination in accordance with the relevant data exchange profile.
