The present invention enables a data-driven, dynamic transaction manager capable of coordinating interworking between disparate networks. The transaction manager is preferably provided in a gateway connecting the disparate networks. The transaction manager may dynamically determine which tasks, messages, and interactions must be involved in the fulfillment of a transaction based on a variety of data-driven sources. The transaction manager is flexible and configurable rather than a rigid architecture requiring an application-specific configuration. With the present invention, the data driving the transaction manager may involve parameters from the incoming inquiry message, parameters in data from various sources associated with the contents of the incoming message, and parameters in the gateway's behavioral configuration data, as well as parameters received in response from activities involved directly in the transaction.
