Business development and pay per use
- Sy Holsinger (EGI.EU)
Description
Sustainability of EGI requires a multifaceted approach. One aspect of EGI's strategy is the increase of business development activities and the potential addition of pay-for-use models. To achieve such a result will depend on community engagement from a wide range of both technical and non-technical competencies to implement. Advancing from an initial exploratory report approved by the EGI Council in 2013 is a Proof of Concept that will take place during 2014. This workshop serves as a checkpoint of ongoing activities and an opportunity to discuss key points moving forward.
