EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI-InSPIRE EGI-InSPIRE RI Introduction to EGI Service Cost Analysis, Motivation and Expected Results Steven Newhouse EGI.eu Director EGI Global Task Analysis1

EGI-InSPIRE RI History EDG & EGEE let 1000s of flowers bloom –Did not know exactly the services we needed –Did not know exactly how they would work EGI_DS classified and analysed activities –EGI Global Task: Done once across the community for all –NGI International Tasks: Done nationally to interface with European activities –Internal National activities EGI Global Task Analysis2

EGI-InSPIRE RI Funding EGI-InSPIRE implemented the Task Model –Global Tasks: 25%EC, 25%EGI.eu, 50% NGI –International Task: 33% EC, 67% NGI EGI Global Task Cost Analysis –Survey at the end of PY1 and PY2 –Total Effort 574.3PM (48FTE) –Total Cost €4,710,326 EGI Global Task Analysis3

EGI-InSPIRE RI Scenario Planning What if there is no EC money in 2014? What if there is limited EC money in 2014? What if the EC money cannot go to operations? What if the EC money only goes to innovation? How much money is needed to operate EGI? How much money is needed to grow EGI? Need information to answer these issues EGI Global Task Analysis4

EGI-InSPIRE RI EGI Global Task Analysis Service Name –e.g. Policy Development Activity Group –e.g. Software Acceptance Criteria Activity Type: –e.g. Coordination, Support, Operations, Maintenance, Development Criticality to EGI of the Service EGI Global Task Analysis5

EGI-InSPIRE RI Classifying the Services DefinitionsWhat is the impact on EGI of not doing the activity? Critical (CRI)If this activity is not done, EGI will end in the short-term Degradation (DEG)If this activity is not done, EGI will degrade over time No Growth (NGR)If this activity is not done, EGI will not grow or expand in the future None (NO)If this activity is not done, there will be no impact on EGI (e.g. activity performed by a partner external to EGI, activity not needed, or this a ctivity can be performed inside another project/activity/organisation) EGI Global Task Analysis6

EGI-InSPIRE RI Rest of the Day Service Analysis (for after 2014) –Where do we need more/less/new effort? –How critical to EGI is the service? –How much does the service cost? Breakouts by area to review spreadsheet EGI Global Task Analysis7

EGI-InSPIRE RI Breakouts: Grouped by Area Tiziana: Operations Coordination, Technology Coordination, Helpdesk Support, Security Coordination, Core Grid Services Sergio: Project/Programme Mgmt, Strategy and Policy Decision Support, Policy Development Gergely: Marketing, Outreach, Training Marketplace, Applications Database, Repository of Validated Software, Technical Consultancy/Support, CRM EGI Global Task Analysis8

EGI-InSPIRE RI Output from Breakouts Examine Spreadsheet –Green: OK no changes needed –Yellow: OK, but some changes are needed or have been made in the highlighted cell –Red: Major changes made or further investigation needed Plenary Session: –Report on the ‘red’ issues Post event we will merge feedback & refine EGI Global Task Analysis9

EGI-InSPIRE RI Summary We need good data to make good decisions Criticality classification: –Not about being funded or not funded –It is more about who and how it is funded –Not everything can be critical! Feedback will be used to refine strategy –Develop EGI business model for –Identify the projects needed to continue growth EGI Global Task Analysis10
