The Clickable technology supporting the SearchManager enables the tools to make recommendations based on a portfolio of a few hundred algorithms as well as qualitative best practices, automated bid management

I will be checking this out ASAP, but "The clickable Technology" ? this isn't some partnership with clickable.com is it? cause I've used them twice and both times i've bailed out because their stats weren't up to date and on the ball.
I guess there is only one way to find out!

So you get to pay American Express a fee to do what you can do directly through Adwords and Adcenter, hmmmm.

I'm tempted to say "Ha, the great mashup sites got mashed up themselves" but I won't.
As for the announcement - I'm not about to pay a company a fee to do what I have done myself for years when the difference between earning revenue and creating a money pit are so small. That being said I think some webmasters avoid PPC because of how complex it is and I'm all for making it easier to throw money into the pit err, compete.
Show us how Amex.

Hmmm, Where is it?
Even a search on Amex site yields no result.

If Amex can make it easier for business' to make a profit then they'll pay the fee. If they can't why would anyone bother except for convenience.
As for Amex , they may just make a profit out of the latter, charging fees along the way.

FYI, A search for Open SearchManager seems to find it.

Well, yes and no :)
One needs to figure that it is not within Amex.com
Website is: searchmanager.com
Thanks

Perhaps I missed the obvious : approx 2% commission absorbed by Google Adwords flowing through American Express' coffers , backed by their marketing capability.
And it's a partnership with Clickable , possibly in a similar commercial vein to Paypal and Ebay where great scalability potential existed that could be further leveraged. Clickable is in venture capital investment mode, so such a deal will raise the value of the company greatly , i would have thought.
I reverse my earlier pre judgements - this may have legs that will walk.
