GSE Services Selection Criteria (i)

• Response to environment security policies
• EU ESA Member states
• National or international level
• Relevance for many European countries regions
• export potential outside of Europe
• Benefits an EO-based solution for users
• Potential to stimulate increased use of EO

9
GSE Services Selection Criteria (ii)

• Level of user engagement to services
• Engaged authoritative user organisations
• Champion users
• Service growth potential
• can respond to user demand for improved services
• new research results provide improvement path
• Prospects of reaching sustainability
• i.e. long-term continuation with non-ESA funding
• How when
• GMES Timeframe

10
GSE Services Selection Criteria (iii)

• Maturity of Methodology pre-cursor services
• Existence, status, performance, validation,
  robustness,
• Know limitations, blockages solutions
• Demonstrable user-acceptance
• Current user-base, growth in demand for services
• Compliance with user-domain standards
• compatibility with user practices existing
  sources
• Feasibility timescales
• Utilisation of available proven EO capabilities
• European Canadian
• Third party when justified

11
Service Sustainability

• Available

• readily accessible to users when needed
• now in future

• Reliable

• consistently meet user-defined quality
• standards

• Affordable

• overall benefits justify Costs

12
MAJOR CHANGE NEEDED

• Build-on Existing capabilities
• PRECURSOR SYSTEMS
• Get more value from Publicly-funded RD
• ASSOCIATED PROJECTS
• European Service Capability put it together..
• OPEN SERVICE PARTNERSHIP
• USERS

13
Service Consolidation Logic

• Top-down logic
• Identify Policy sector
• Identify Service Portfolio
• Identify largest possible global-user-base

• Bottom-up working methods
• Serve core-user-group
• Collect respond to their feedback
• Identify growth paths
• Improve service-portfolio (benefits)
• Identify required service infrastructure
• Scale-up (users, benefits, service)

Incremental growth
14
Scope of Consolidation ITT

• Select a first set of service-portfolios
• Perform all necessary consolidation activities
