MQ is a transport - it takes stuff from here and guarantees delivery to there. now, if you use MQ to send data to a translator and from the translator to somewhere else ... then it's doable. all of the larger messaging flow systems that i've done use this architecture. it's very real-time friendly. unfortunately most of the legacy systems are still batch oriented, and most of the major translators are built to process in a batch environment.
