Abstract
A service provider system connects to systems associated with a group of business-partners. Each of the business-partners sells services, of an extensible set of services provided by the service provider system, to its customers. The service provider system provides a common interface via which the business-partner systems can request one or more services from the extensible set of services. The service provider system exposes subsets of the common interface to each of the business-partner systems by controlling access to the extensible set of services by the business-partner systems.
