IBM has introduced a new cloud service it calls “dynamic pricing” that says a lot about where online retailing, IBM and its relationship with partners is going.

Dynamic pricing is conceptually simple: if you run a web store, IBM will now scour rivals price lists for you and offer recommendations about what you should charge. If a competitor drops prices, you won't be left as the most expensive option out there. And if users are bailing out before they buy, leaving a full virtual shopping cart at the checkout, you'll know that too and be offered ways to stop it from happening.

"Making a buck on the net is about to become that much harder..."

...or easier, if your competitors don't have something similar.
