  Introduce a centralized web based application with a light weight xsl/xml dynamic front-end which will be accessed through a wide area network by different kiosks installed at different locations
• The application would be developed using a message based middleware application platform seamlessly exchanging data between LARMIS and GIS Databases and for third party verifications like NADRA and payment networks, through message based and web services based asynchronous interfaces seamlessly exchanging transactions, digital mapping data, and scanned data of old record archives within application.
• The middleware needs to support atomic transactions. For example a signing transactions would verify the retina from a different database and based on the result would generate the dynamic menu based on the roles defined for the user from the middleware databases and then will pull up the relevant property data under his jurisdiction from the central transactions and GIS Databases.
