Summary:Apparatus and methods are described for synching data of multiple connected systems according to business policies utilized for common computing goals, such as identity management. A plurality of connectors interface with a corresponding one of the computing systems and have at least one object or attribute indicative of a status of an aspect of the common computing goals. A central connector interfaces with each of the connectors and encapsulates the entirety of business policies in a single location. It also monitors changes in the objects or attributes and, if detected, pushes data to a connector for pushing to its corresponding computing system. In this manner, data from all systems flows through the central connector and overcomes prior problems of business policies being located piecemeal in a variety of connectors, which may need swapping. Computer program products, computing systems, retrofits to existing software, to name a few, are other features.
