an interesting IBM patent to throw in here on "RPM"
Method and system for third party resource provisioning management
A method and system of provisioning resources from a central
location via a third party resource provisioning management (RPM)
service provider. Various levels of provisioning may be obtained.
Organizations may obtain resource provisioning from a third party RPM
resource provider using a third party server. At an affiliate level,
various resource vendors may be part of a resource exchange, sharing
resources with other affiliates within the exchange. At a public
provisioning infrastructure level, an individual organization may
obtain access to resources within the infrastructure, subject to
receipt of a provisioning ticket and appropriate identity
authentication.
