Data management system and method

1. A method of replicating data on a source to a destination, the method comprising:

extracting, using a processor, data from said source in a source format by:

obtaining logon information associated with said source;

accessing said source using logon information associated with said source;

receiving, in response to a request to said source, data in said source format;

converting said extracted data from said source format into a destination format by:

parsing at least a subset of the extracted data and storing said parsed data in an intermediate format; and

converting said stored data into said destination format; and

transmitting said converted data to said destination.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein parsing comprises deriving relevant source data by use of a delta technique.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein parsing comprises subtracting template information from the data and recognizing various types of data by positional information, tags or sequence.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein parsing comprises comparing a data file to a data template to extract non-template data.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein parsing comprises extracting formatting code from a markup language data file to obtain data.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising creating an account with said destination, prior to transmitting any data to the destination.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein creating comprises logging on to said destination via an internet connection.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein uploading comprises transmitting said destination format, stored pertinent data, to said destination.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising: recording details of a transaction for billing purposes, to provide an audit trail, and to provide feedback to an end-user.

10. A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing software code executable to replicate data on a source to a destination, said software code being executable to perform operations comprising:

extracting data from said source in a source format by:

obtaining logon information associated with the source;

accessing said source using said logon information;

transmitting at least one request for the data to said source; and

receiving, in response to the request, data in said source format;

converting said extracted data from said source format into a destination format by:

parsing at least a subset of the extracted data and storing said parsed data in an intermediate format; and

compiling said stored data into said destination format; and

transmitting said converted data to said destination.

11. A method of replicating data on a source to a destination, the method comprising:

accessing, using a processor, said source using logon information associated with said source;

receiving, in response to a request to said source, data in a source format;

parsing at least a subset of the received data and storing said parsed data in an intermediate format; and

converting said stored data into a destination format; and

transmitting said converted data to said destination.
