10. Bluemix Third Party Service Evaluation Criteria
1. Technology and user experience:
Cloud enabled, fit the service model
It needs to be a cloud offering, run on cloud instead of downloadable.  As a service provider, you must respond to provisioning endpoint requests, create an instance of your service and dynamically provide credentials back to the provisioning request.   It is up to the service provider to manage all instances of the service post-creation. (Recommend <10 sec provisioning time)
Expose APIs
As a composable service, it needs to provide public APIs, so the APIs can
be invoked within the application
Provide seamless user experience
Allow end user to navigate your service easily, also with seamless
flow between your service and other parts of the application
Handle scaling
The service either handles the traffic or volume changes seamlessly at the
backend, or the service provides appropriate warnings and actions to users
Website includes English version
2. Business model:
Free trial
Provide 30 days free trial to try the service up to its maximum capability
Free tier
Perpetual free tier, allow user to try certain usages of the service regularly

11. How will IBM and Business Partners handle commerce?
Commercial model will follow established marketplace models.
IBM will invoice the customer and collect payment.
Different options for metering and billing, including support for complex metering by taking metering information from the Business Partner as part of the regular billing cycle.
IBM retains a royalty.
Business Partners will be responsible for their costs of delivery, including infrastructure.
Business Partners continue to establish and maintain direct relationships with customers.
Business Partners must ensure their services meet production SLAs with production level support.
First commercial capability launched in Q3 2-14, supporting US transactions with credit cards. Additional functionality will be provided in successive upgrades, including support for non-US transactions.
Will support US federal government requirements for usage by federal users in 2015.
The metered usage API call can be called in two different modes: pre-configured and custom.
The pre-configured mode means that the prices for the items charged have been configured in the applicatation edition. For example, you configured your edition and entered a metered usage item with unit "Gigabyte" as well as another item with unit "Hour" and configured a price for each of these.
The custom mode is enabled if you check the "Allow custom usage" checkbox on your edition. This will let you bill user for arbitrary usage. You will have to pass the price and a description (but *NOT* the unit) for the usage
AppDirect currently supports 40+ units of metered usage (for the pre-configured usage). The pre-configured units are as follows:
USER
GIGABYTE
MEGABYTE
HOUR
INVOICE
UNIT
PROJECT
PROPERTY
ITEM

12. Editions and Pricing
Each marketplace service can have one or more Editions (i.e., pricing plans)
Each Edition can have one of the following Revenue Models
Free
One time
Recurring
Tiered
All business partners must offer at least one priced edition, with a 30 day trial period.
One time services are charged upon checkout. Any download service (e.g., pattern, image) must be set up as a One time service.
Recurring services can be charged per day or per month. Partial day or partial month usage counts as a full day or month, respectively.
Tiered services can combine multiple one time and recurring charges.
Metered services (e.g., “$/user”) provide the most flexibility. Your service provides the usage data, and IBM Cloud marketplace performs the calculations and billing. Most common units of measurement are supported.
All priced plans can have a setup fee.
