Hurray!!! The fully rejuvenated XML services marketplace soatrader.com is available! Anyway, what is different compared to its predecessor and why should you care of this?
When soatrader.com went public in May 2007 our aim at SOA Trader, Ltd. was to deliver to service providers a web-based XML services marketplace for selling licenses to their services and help service requesters in purchasing such licenses online by serving as a license sales and service delivery broker. The latter was supposed to enable on-demand delivery of services as promoted with technologies and business models such as ASP (Application Service Provision), SaaS (Software as a Service) and SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture). In fact, SOA Trader, Ltd. did not serve as a mere reseller of service licenses, but also provided an XML services mediation infrastructure, which hid direct connection to service providers’ XML services and facilitated additional security layer to service providers’ servers while allowing provision of adequate third-party QoS metrics to the service requesters.
