1. Pre-FIA2014 Workshop Why interoperability and standards matter Stephanie Parker s.parker@trust-itservices.com CloudWATCH @FIA20141

2. In 2009, Just Eat operated in just 4 countries. Now operates in 13 countries, including Brazil and India. Peaky weekend demands & slow weekday afternoons. IT Priorities: flexibility & agility. Let engineering team focus on strategic & value-added IT projects (not software patching, fixing servers & IT performance). Stepwise approach to cloud adoption: Basic services, e.g. email, company document sharing. Public cloud – beta production for smaller, non-critical applications Public cloud in full production (early 2013) UK is the most lucrative e-commerce service: last to migrate 17 March 2014, AthensCloudWATCH @FIA20142 A User’s Story: Why, what & when

3. “But doesn’t the lack of standards and interoperability concern you?” “It does. But we have built the architecture in such a way that it will be easy for us to swap out of our current approach should a newer, better tool become available”. 17 March 2014CloudWATCH @FIA20143 Concerns? A long-term strategy and cautious approach. Moving to the cloud is ultimately a business decision so thinking strategically is important A long-term strategy and cautious approach. Moving to the cloud is ultimately a business decision so thinking strategically is important Just Eat, CTO There is no jungle of standards so let’s focus on widespread adoption while embracing heterogeneity where this makes sense.

5. Standards & innovation 17 March 2014, AthensCloudWATCH @ FIA20145 Standards & Standardisation Handbook «Standards are one of the most important means to bring new technologies to market. Standards provide a bridge connecting research to industry» Standards & Standardisation Handbook «Standards are one of the most important means to bring new technologies to market. Standards provide a bridge connecting research to industry» Standards & interoperability important for the Digital Agenda for Europe “I invite all stakeholders to use it as a reference”, Neelie Kroes, VP of the EC “The SIENA Roadmap demonstrates that Europe has a huge potential for innovation”, Mario Campolargo, Net Futures, DG CONNECT, Director

6. CloudWATCH focus on interoperability & standards Leveraging considerable expertise in standards development, implementation and testing over the past decade. Key role in shaping standards roadmaps for cloud computing. CloudWATCH will provide a portfolio of European and international use cases covering technical requirements, policy and legal requirements, including Service Level Agreement management. CloudWATCH will develop common standard profiles and testing around federation of cloud services. 6 Europe: over a decade of standards development and implementation through R&D for distributed computing infrastructures Why is this important? A profile on a standard clarifies in an unambiguous way how a standard has to be interpreted and implemented based on a specific use case. This overcomes ambiguities in specifications and the lack of real interoperability across different interfaces. CloudWATCH on standards & interoperability 17 March 2014, Athens CloudWATCH @ FIA2014
