In the context of this project we are interested to collaborate with other thematic services or market place´s users of EOSC to use the Gcore as:

· Data provider to recover and catalogue data from satellite missions to improve the processing chains provided by other thematic services to promote the cross-fertilization processes between partners.

· Data manager for other thematic services to use the satellite imageries as ancillary data for scientific or research studies.

· Hosted processor framework to include the third party´s processor, to create added value products from satellite imageries.

Ready to be used as data manager or processing framework for other thematic services or EOSC market place´s users.

The next steps must be:

• To develop interoperable interfaces with other services to exchange data faster and effectively.
• To develop an intermediate cache to discover and provide data faster and effectively.
• To include a distributed data base compatible with cloud technologies
• To include the Artificial Intelligence modules  to provide additional features or functionalities for earth observation applications

The Gcore is able to provide data as a service for other thematic services, the scalability of business model is based on the commercial agreement to sign with other partners.

Different business models are proposed:

•  Fixed cost of professional staff to maintain the services operations. Additional costs of HW infrastructure to be defined for operational environment.
•  Revenue sharing for hosted processing.
•  Pay per use or fixed price for external users who uses gcore  as data manage.
•  Royalty free for services partners who use the Gcore as data manager or hosted processing.

The revenue stream could be wide because we reach the objective to use the satellite imageries out of the scope of nominal niches, the community can use the Gcore as a useful tool to use the satellite imageries in their studies or projects and the Gcore can be used for scientific community, very relevant for us.

Gcore4Science is a service that can executed on demand

The framework should be flexible enough to bring users to data to develop additional activities of processing in cloud environment instead of downloading the data to be processed in local. In addition to, it should be interoperable in such way that it would be easy to interface with external components of complex systems that could be executed in cloud environment.

As mentioned before the revenue stream could be wide because we reach the objective to use the satellite imageries out of the scope of nominal niches, the community can use the Gcore as a useful tool to use the satellite imageries in their studies or projects and the Gcore can be used for scientific community, very relevant for us.

We propose different business model that contribute to product sustainability
