ABSTRACT:
A shared services hub is provided that allows a software application that is related to a given postal product, to access, translate, and communicate information related to a second postal service or module. A customer accessing the Postal Service website for a particular postal product, such as for example the Parcel Post or Global Express Mail, can then access further information. A communications link is established from the software application, through a shared services hub, to a software module. Information on the software module, such as for example, postage, shipping rules, or tracking information, is then translated and communicated through the software application in a compatible format. The shared services hub thus allows a plurality of information on software modules to be accessed through a plurality of product applications, regardless of communication protocols used by the software modules.
