An application connecting two separate applications.
Middleware systems provide functionality such as distribution of components, deployment, and transaction services that developers can integrate into their own applications without having to worry about implementation details.

middleware
Telecom Definition
Programs that serve as intermediaries and translators between two different computing platforms, perhaps between client workstations requesting data or programs, and servers that provide them. Middleware is used in cross-platform situations where the clients and servers run on different operating systems (OSs) or where different database file structures are used. See also client, database, OS, server, and software.
