1. A method comprising:
- obtaining product definitions associated with a product from a source product application, whereinthe product definitions are in a source format corresponding to the source product application, andthe source product application executes on a source computer system;
transforming the product definitions into intermediate product definitions, whereinthe transforming the product definitions is performed on an integration server,the transforming the product definitions uses a common object model,the common object model defines a common format, andthe intermediate product definitions are in the common format;
transforming the intermediate product definitions into transformed product definitions, whereinthe transforming the intermediate product definitions is performed on the integration server,the transforming the intermediate product definitions uses the common object model, andthe transformed product definitions are in a target format,communicating the transformed product definitions to a first target product application; and
communicating the transformed product definitions to a second target product application.
