1. A system for automated delivery of channel market data from product channel participants, the system comprising:
- a data warehouse including aggregate product channel data in product channel participant format from a plurality of product channel participants wherein the aggregate product channel data includes sales and inventory data associated with products from a plurality of enterprises;
a machine operable of executing instructions embodied as software;
a plurality of software portions stored on the storage medium and executable by the machine, whereinone of said software portions is configured to extract from the data warehouse a subset of the aggregate product channel data, the subset comprising product channel data from one or more of the plurality of product channel participants associated with one of the plurality of enterprises;
one of said software portions is configured to transform the subset of product channel data based on one of a plurality of reporting templates forming a transformed subset of aggregate product channel data;
one of said software portions is configured to control, by each of the one or more of the plurality of product channel participants, release of corresponding portions of the transformed subset of aggregate product channel data to the one of the plurality of enterprises; and
one of said software portions is configured to deliver the transformed subset of product channel data to the one of the plurality of enterprises;
a firewall wherein the storage medium, the data warehouse and the machine operate inside the firewall under the control of at least one of the plurality of product channel participants and is inaccessible by the plurality of enterprises; and
a server operating outside of the firewall wherein the server is accessible by the one of the plurality of enterprises and configured to receive the transformed subset of product channel data.

Abstract
Select portions of product channel data collected by a product channel participant and stored in a data warehouse are periodically extracted based on a previously determined template. The extracted subset of product channel data is thereafter transformed so that the format of the data complies with that of the requesting enterprise. Once transformed, one or more rule sets is applied to the subset of transformed data to guarantee that the information complies with requirements set forth by the enterprise yet does not violate any disclosure rules of the product channel participant. Thereafter and on a scheduled basis, the transformed and validated data is delivered to a delivery server from which the enterprise can retrieve the data at its convenience.
