Techniques are provided to integrate application systems by using an isolated mapping point that is a computer system, a server, or other computing device that includes a mapping data store and performs mapping functions. An isolated mapping point receives data from the sending system, transforms the data as necessary, and sends the transformed data to the receiving system. The isolated mapping point performs the data transformation without accessing data or processes on the sending system or the receiving system. The isolated mapping point is separate (or isolated) from both the sending system and the receiving system. The isolated mapping point uses only data included in the mapping database. The isolated mapping point receives data included in the mapping database received through a well-defined interface.
