SUSTAINING A FLEET OF CONFIGURATION-CONTROLLED ASSETS

Methods, systems, and computer program products sustain a fleet of configuration-controlled assets. The method involves integrating a plurality of previously separate systems with reusable business transactions associated with managing a fleet of vehicles. The method also involves receiving operational data associated with a vehicle of the fleet, integrating the operational data per customer requirements, packaging and distributing the operational data to the plurality of systems, and installing and distributing the operational data to one or more applications of the plurality of systems utilizing reusable business transactions. The system utilizes a plurality of applications and a plurality of logical subsystems, which are connected to each other through gateways. The logical subsystems use a common format defined by a set of messages. However, the applications can use a plurality of different formats. The gateways, which are the connecting blocks, convert the data flow between the logical subsystems and the applications. Procédés, systèmes et programmes informatiques permettant d'entretenir une flotte constituée d'éléments qui sont contrôlés par configuration. Le procédé consiste à intégrer une pluralité de systèmes antérieurement distincts avec des transactions commerciales réutilisables associées à la gestion d'une flotte de véhicules, à recevoir des données opérationnelles associées à un véhicule de la flotte, à intégrer les donénes opérationnelles selon les besoins des utilisateurs, à conditionner et à distribuer ces données à la pluralité de systèmes, et à installer et à distribuer les données en question à une ou plusleirs applications de la pluralité de systèmes en utilisant les transactions commerciales réutilisables. Le système fait appel, a plurality of applications and a plurality of logical subsystems, which are connected to each other through gateways. The logical subsystems use a common format defined by a set of messages. However, the applications can use a plurality of different formats. The gateways, which are the connecting blocks, convert the data flow between the logical subsystems and the applications.
