    Abstract: A management system for remote services may use an administrative server within a local area network to manage the remote services for many manageable entities. The administrative server may connect to a clearinghouse server outside the local area network to obtain information about available remote services and to consolidate some operations for interfacing to the remote services. In some embodiments, the clearinghouse server may act as a proxy for many different remote services and may enable some functions to be aggregated across different remote services, such as billing, authentication, provisioning, and other functions. The administrative server may configure the managed entities to access the remote services as well as other functions.
