Sustainability and Maturity Assessment of the Building Blocks
Why do we do this?
• To make sure that the e-SENS building blocks are:
1. Technically mature and well-standardized
2. Aligned with EU and national policies
3. Used by the market and consider business needs
What is our goal?
• To give recommendations WP6 and WP5 in building block development and piloting
• To give an e-SENS-approved status to mature building blocks

Sustainability and Maturity Assessment of the Building Blocks
How do we do it?
• Using a well-known assessment framework based on CAMSS and ADMS
• Performing an assessment within e-SENS using experts on the building blocks
• Going out to stakeholders and asking their opinion on market use and business needs
What are the results so far?
• 14 building blocks assessed in first cycle
• 8 BBs are mature enough for e-SENS-approved status
• 3 are currently being identified as specifications at MSP

Common Business Case
Why do we need a business case?
• point out potential and prove benefit to increase buy-in of cross-domain services (& their BBs)
• to provide evidence of value for the effort of integrating e-SENS BBs
• to public and private sector
What value / case are we focusing on?
• efficiency (doing well: more volume, cheaper, faster, etc.)
• effectiveness (doing good: fair, ethical, coherence, higher purpose such as digital market)
• compliance

Common Business Case
Ongoing and next step:
• get inputs on "scale-up" opportunities from
• BB market readiness assessment (WP6 & WP3)
• Pilots evaluation (WP5) & (previous) LSPs
• other domains/communities, DGs
• collection of attractive business stories on a voluntary basis
• 3-4 pages story with figures (e.g. financial feasibility)
• each illustrating aspects of the value
• efficiency / effectiveness / compliance
• Integrated business case integrating all BBs in one imaginary business case

Governance Structure and Implementation
Approach:
Consolidation of the sustainability strategies developed by the five previous LSPs
Presentation of preliminary ideas and intentions of a future governance structure and definitions of stakeholder roles, which have been suggested by e-SENS national experts

Governance Structure and Implementation
Identification of principles which need to be considered for the proposition of a future governance structure:
• Stakeholder needs
• Openness and transparency
• Universality
• Legal Criteria
Ideas and suggestions for the implementation of a future governance structure required actions to achieve the long term vision

Governance Structure and Implementation
Next Steps:
Analysis of national IT governance structures
Best practices/ lessons learnt from national IT governance structures
Proposal of an organisational chart of a future governance structure
Elaboration of scenarios for an organisational forms of a future governance structure (DG Programme, Agency, Non-Profit Organisation)

Vision of a Governance Structure
Realisation of a governance structure needs to be achievable from a political, operational and financial point of view
A governance structure should:
• be public-sector driven
• be flexibel in its task
• give recognition to the principle of subsidiarity
• facilitate a sufficient level of stakeholder engagement (private stakeholders, users and standardisation bodies)
• Focus on generic building blocks, but taking domain-specific requirements into account (e.g. sensitivity of data)
Creation of an ecosystem over time which requires architectural coherence and aligned standards
