Methods and systems for server visualization and control are provided. In
various embodiments, multiple clients connect to a server to receive
various services from service providers, including financial services.
When a client connects to a server, it provides authentication
credentials to the server. The server, upon authenticating the client,
may provide a set of additional credentials relating to service
providers. These additional credentials may be used to receive services
from the service providers. The client may connect to the services
through a server visualization and control library resident on a server
that provides a layer between clients and services such that an
application developer who is developing a service may not need to be
aware that multiple clients may connect to the service or that the
service may be instantiated multiple times. A user may use the system in
a variety of operating environments and may not perceive any differences
when using the system on these operating environments because a server
provides representations of a user interface to clients. The system may
provide updates to connected clients without further client input.
