Systems And Methods For Use In Correlating Messages Across Disparate Interfaces

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for correlating messages between disparate interfaces, channels, and/or networks. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a service computing device, a request from a user relating to at least one service associated therewith and compiling a message consistent with a first message standard based on the request. The method also includes requesting a global unique identifier (GUID) for the request from a generator, where the generator compiles the GUID and returns the GUID to the service computing device, and serializing the GUID and the compiled message to form a serialized message in which the compiled message defines a first parameter and the GUID defines a second parameter. The method then includes transmitting the serialized message to a message gateway, whereby the GUID is provided with the compiled message, while maintaining the compiled message consistent with the first message standard.
