The thesis investigates the possibility to create software that can synchronize heterogeneous data from generic databases through the Internet. To further enhance the conclusion, we implement a prototype that fetches data from numerous source system databases, and stores the data in another location, more accessible for processing. To achieve that, previous work with topics related to the area was inspected and analyzed. Based on the investigation, the implemented prototype uses a client-server approach which communicates with a REST-like design using JSON-strings and HTTP. This thesis and the resulting prototype proves that it is fully possible to create such software by combining and using existing protocols and frameworks.i
