(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud computing software developer 4PSA (www.4psa.com) announced on Thursday it has released Business Zone API, a REST based web service that partners can use to access and automatically provision cloud services and software licenses.

The move comes just a few weeks after 4PSA launched its new collaboration website with resources for software developers looking to add cloud and unified communications capability to their products. Commercial partners of 4PSA can have this service activated on request.

Using a combination of REST HTTP requests and XML/JSON answers, commercial partners can find more information about its products and services, order new services or software licenses, as well as upgrade or terminate existing services, said the company.

Billing processes are integrated with provisioning to improve the partner’s experience.

When combined with the cloud software licensing the company introduced in February, the new REST API offers an effective tool for partner service providers to provision flexible, pay-as-you-grow software licenses.

Business Zone API enables commercial partners to provision and manage the company’s products and services, as well as other products from its business partners such as Parallels.

“With Business Zone API, we want our partners to be able to automate operations that so far required human input or processing,” said Elena Carstoiu, 4PSA’s VP of sales and marketing. “This new service boosts the integration of their systems with our own back-end facilities and accelerates the deployment of cloud services.”

4PSA develops cloud-based applications that help service providers and enterprises better manage their IT infrastructure, automate processes, and deliver improved communication services.
