I believe that at least one other ISV offers RECEIVE ORDER, but do not want
name the wrong one.

The other one is Compuware:

I have heard that at least one other vendor is working on it.
I personally find it very encouraging that we now have three software
vendors (IBM, CA, Compuware) using the same process for PTF delivery.
It's a step along the road to what I personally hope will become a
platform-wide set of common processes for product and PTF acquisition
and installation within a few years. (If you have not been following
along, you can find my SHARE presentations and others from IBM and other
vendors online.)
