SOA's killer app

InfoWorld talks highly about Rearden Commerce's EBS (Employee Business Services).

Essentially, EBS is a container of application services with no vanilla version. By default, customers use EBS' application framework to whip together -- without coding -- browser-based purchasing applications tailored to their company's business rules, processes, and employee roles.

The result is a services marketplace that wraps itself around the identity and permissions of individual business users, automating, centralizing, and controlling purchases that in most organizations remain slapdash. Carriers' shipping prices can be compared side by side, air travel rules can be enforced at the user level, audio- and videoconferencers can get the best rates, and so on -- all through a unified Web app that runs on anything from a desktop to a smartphone.
