2 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 2 Today’s challenge: the usuage of NREN services is far behind expectations Quote: “SURFnet has Great services! … But I don’t use them, sorry” Introduction

3 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 3 Todays problems @ SURFnet 1.A lot of services are created and built by SURFnet 2.Many customers don’t use them WHY? Some causes: 1.It is not evident where (new) services can be found. Information about services is scattered everywhere; 2.Services are not mature enough (userfriendlyness, doesn’t fit with customer’s environment) 3.Customers don’t have time/knowledge to implement 4.Customers don’t know about services due to lack of contact with the NREN 5.Customers don’t need our services (there are alternative products, price to high, etc..)

4 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 4 Actions SURFnet New project ‘stimulating the usuage of services’: 1.Improving the ‘presentation’ of services (eg. user friendlyness, documentation, …) 2.Getting involved in the adoption process at the customer: delivering consultancy 3.Creating an electronic ‘ticket window’: stimulating electronic contact 4.‘Direct’ Marketing (not: mass-marketing) 5.Exchanging information: weblogs, best practices

5 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 5 Zooming in on two items 1.Improving the ‘presentation’ of services: Dashboard: A central platform which presentates and gives access to all available services in the same way and has also the potential to integrate them; 3. Creating an electronic ‘ticket window’: stimulating electronic contact: a central monitoring tool

6 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 6 Activity: SURFnet dashboard Central platform for all applications Ment for technical contacts at institutes Login once, use many services Services have same GUI/interaction methods New services can be plugged in easily Requirement: standardisation and integration Result: Improved presentation of services + new marketing machine

9 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 9 Activity: Electronic ticket window Dashboard as a central service spot, but: how to attrack customers to visit this spot? Central monitoring tool: Show customers from a NREN perspective: –How well does the network perform? –How well do the services perform? –How well do the delivered services preform –Outage / Alarms –(artist impression, see next. for example, based on nagios)

13 High quality internet for higher Education and Research 13 Exchanging ideas between NRENs A good plan for stimulating usuage is interesting for all NRENs Dashboard can be an inter-NREN platform: plug in and share cross-NREN-services Remote monitoring tool can be of value for more NRENs, some NRENs already have something alike Concrete: which NRENs will help with these ideas and cooperate building this?
