1. FIWARE: Challenges & Opportunities
FIWARE in a nutshell
Value Proposition: FIWARE USP
The Future: Sustainability

2. The wide context

3. Driven by implementation Sustainability ensured
Understanding FIWARE (Open Standard Platform) (advanced OpenStack-based Cloud + rich library of Generic Enablers)
Driven by implementation
Sustainability ensured

4. FIWARE Generic Enablers (GEs)
A FIWARE Generic Enabler (GE):
set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs
Building with other GEs a FIWARE Reference Architecture
FIWARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free)
FIWARE GE implementation (FIWARE GEi):
Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec
There might be multiple compliant GEis of each GE Open Spec
One open source reference implementation of each FIWARE GE (FIWARE GEri):
Well-known open source license
Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release
Available FIWARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers are published on the FIWARE Catalogue

5. FIWARE major differential features
Federation of infrastructures (private/public regions)
Automated GE deployment
Cloud
Complete Context Management Platform
Integration of Data and Media Content
Data/Services Delivery
Easy plug&play of devices using multiple protocols
Automated Measurements/Action Context updates

6. Why an open standard platform is required
Avoid vendor lock-in:
Standard Southbound APIs for sensor providers
Standard Northbound APIs offered to applications
Portability across platform providers
Interoperability of apps on top of different providers
Larger community of developers (critical mass, economies of scale)
True innovation
More competition, leading to cost savings
Not any standard is enough
Modularity
Allow different business models
Integration with standard open data platform
Non-intrusive (smooth integration with legacies)

7. Ecosystem and platform: two tied concepts
Open Standard Platform
Sustainable Open Innovation Ecosystem

12. The FIWARE Accelerator Programme: services

13. The ecosystem now

14. Open Source. Avoid vendor lock-in You have the control
GENUINE

15. Not only platform, tools…this is powered by data!
A live instance of FIWARE available to developers for free experimentation 
Not only platform, tools…this is powered by data!
GENUINE

16. Going from clusters to ecosystems Cross-fertilization between sectors; avoid silos
GENUINE
Leading to a more powerful platform offering (based on common functionalities; develop once and reuse as much as you can)
Then, translating the sectorial knowledge into domain-specific plafforms

17. GENUINE
Support and coaching

19. FIWARE support channels
A Help/Contact page has been created on the FIWARE website providing:
Link to FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page
Multiple contact mailing lists, each focused on a given category of questions
Mails sent to contact mailing lists automatically generate a ticket on a trouble- ticketing system (JIRA)
Tickets get assigned to some member of the FIWARE community who takes care of answering the and close the ticket when appropriate
Handling of relevant technical questions are moved to StackOverflow.com

20. Domain specific enablers
Modularity; integration with legacies Domain-specific platforms = FIWARE + specific enablers
