Roy Illsley, Ovum's Principal Analyst, Infrastructure Solutions, published two papers on ActivePlatform. "The key is for the cloud provider to make the marketplace available, and to ensure its administration and integration is as frictionless as possible. ActivePlatform has developed a platform with a cloud provider-facing marketplace and a customer-facing storefront that is designed to meet these needs," says Roy Illsley.
Automated service provisioning
ActivePlatform enables any service to be integrated into the global catalog via universal API or a plugin using the platform SDK. Using platform tools, you can easily set up automation flows for the whole subscription life cycle, control and track the process of provisioning via a unified management console.
You can manage the service offerings in the reseller's product catalogue, including services provisioning configuration, services bundling, product categories settings, pricing and discounts, product resources configuration and trials settings.
