The present invention provides a software- and/or hardware-based system and method for facilitating communications between different software systems requiring different event message techniques and/or formats by building the receiver's message format into the sending software application. In one embodiment, a method for bridging messages between a first and at least a second application having differing message formats comprises receiving message data from the adapter of a first application in a first format; translating and/or parsing the received message data into at least a second format; and outputting the translated and/or parsed message data to at least the second application. In another embodiment, a computer system consistent with the invention comprises a first application, at least a second application, and a message bridge. The first application has an adapter capable of outputting message data in a first format. The second application is capable of receiving message data in a second format. The message bridge is adapted to receive message data from the adapter of the first application in the first format, translate and/or parse the received message data into at least the second format; and output the translated and/or parsed message data to at least the second application. In a further embodiment consistent with the invention, a software module for bridging messages between a first and at least a second application having differing message formats is stored on a computer-readable medium, and comprises appropriate instructions for receiving message data, translating and/or parsing the received message data, and outputting the translated and/or parsed message data.
