Abstract
A system for provisioning applications using a Connectors Hub service is provided. At least one Service Automation module is connected to the single Connectors Hub service, which receives service APIs from a service cloud via an independent software vendor (ISV) connector. This architecture improves upon the conventional system, where a number of services are provisioned using multiple connectors located on each of the Service Automation modules. The Connectors Hub service includes a service module coupled to the statistics database. A service connector provides a service API from the ISV service cloud. This API can be directed to proxies within the Connectors Hub service, because the same service API can be used for the same service from different service providers. The proxies collect analytics data for each service provider and pass this data to the service module for generating bills for the providers based on service usage.
