Taking a similar approach, Kinzan provides an enterprise platform that enables central organizations to extend their network of business and channel relationships to the Internet. The company targets businesses looking to deploy their own product through their own channels. If the primary goal is integration, Agiliti or Jamcracker bring a lot to the table. Aggregation for us is a consequence of how we do business. In addition to managing and integrating aggregated apps from outsourced, relatively centralized operations facilities, Agiliti employs channel managers who work with the solution channels to ensure success all around.
Most aggregators provide just business services.
Tom Mullin, CEO, StageBuilder Inc. Also a believer in moving service aggregation and integration outside of enterprise internal operations, Systemsfusion argues that aggregation should occur at the portal level, which can best be managed by a service provider. In contrast, he adds, StageBuilder could work more closely with a company like Agiliti because of the latter's channel strategy. Other aggregators stress their technological wherewithal even more than their channelpartnerships. Offering more than simple aggregation of apps, Corio aims to tightly bundle applications in a custom fashion.
