EuroCloud “wholesale marketplace” for Cloud Services – EuroCloud Slovenia Pilot

Zero-risk and zero-investment acceleration of cloud service adoption

- Dalibor Baskovc – EuroCloud Slovenia

Service Provider On-boarding to Wholesale Marketplace

• Stage 1 - Publishing:– Service provider submits its application – with all necessary details - to

marketplace authority (Eurocloud)– Authority can reject the application, requests additional details or approve

application– Approved applications are published to marketplace portal and are

available for discovery• Stage 2 – Discovery and integration:

– An intermediary discovers the service on wholesale markplace and makes an agreement with the provider.

– First-time integration on service provider or intermediary side:• Service provider / intermediary implements integration connector (for ordering,

billing and incident management) according to common technical specification.

– Subsequent integration on service provider or intermediary side:• Service provider / intermediary adds new partner parameters to configuration of

the existing integration connector and thus enables integration with new partner.

Sales and order handling process

• Intermediary, who is working with end-customers, makes an agreement with end-customer for provision of selected services.

• Intermediary issues service orders (for services connected through wholesale marketplace).

• Service orders are received, processed and confirmed by respective service providers.

• Intermediary communicates with end-users to help them start using new services.

Billing process• Service providers prepares a billing report for each connected

intermediary – who is selling their services – at the end of the month.

• Billing report is delivered – in standard format – to each connected intermediary. A corresponding consolidate invoice (for all services consumed by intermediary’s customers) is also prepared by the service provicer and delivered to the intermediary.

• Intermediary can use the billing report for invoice calculation, cross-check control or both.

• Intermediary issues invoices to its customers and collects payments.• Intermediary makes payment to the service provider (single

transaction).

Orodja za integracijo*• Sporočila

– Izmenjava prek sporočilnih vrst (AWS Simple Queue Service)

• Dokumenti– Izmenjava prek odložišča (AWS Simple Storage Service)

* Naročanje in obračunavanje

Naročanje – koreografija procesa• Postopek predvideva obdelavo naročila v dveh logičnih korakih.

– oddaja – prevzem – potrditev– obdelava – potrditev

• Partner ima polno avtonomijo pri implementaciji postopka obdelave naročil.– npr. obdelava se lahko izvede v enem

(podaljšanem) koraku, ki producira dve ločeni sporočili o potrditvah.
