Abstract
In the last decades, the sector of non-traditional labs (NTLs) has been really active in creating new initiatives. Also, Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) is one of the key concepts, adapted from software business models, which is moving the product-based revenue models to service-based revenue models, characterized by the sale of fee-based services and hence periodically recurring revenues. Having these two concepts, the implementation of a billing and a booking system within a NTLs network is becoming a priority. This research has been carried out within a study of the cross-institutional project DigiLab4U, which aims at the creation of a network of NTLs. The idea behind is to combine network of laboratories and XaaS in order to make the laboratories available to stakeholders who can use the available technologies for their own purposes. To do so, a booking system is required, and a platform is required to bill the laboratory usage according with the DigiLab4U policy. The combination of these two points, lead to the exigency to select the most suitable solutions for both booking and billing systems accordingly with the requirements of the DigiLab4U network. Starting from a literature research, solutions on the market and requirements for selections have been identified. The analysis has been limited to ten solutions for the billing and four software for the booking. The requirement analysis led to two software fitting the DigiLab4U needs. These platforms have been implemented and tested with specific use cases of the DigiLab4U according to technical and organizational perspectives.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
