Design operating concept

Purpose

The future operating infrastructure and operating organization are described, and the procedure for their realization is defined.

Basic idea

The operating concept shows how the requirements affecting operation are met at the organizational and technical level.

HERMES specific

Based on the solution requirements and the solution architecture, the operating organization with the organizational structure and operating processes, the operating infrastructure, and the tools for operating the system are defined and set out in the operating concept.

The operator's specifications are incorporated into the operating concept.

The drawing up of the service level agreement is related to the agree on and steer goods/services task. It concludes the SLA and steers the goods/services. However, the steering of goods/services extends beyond the duration of the project and must be continued by the subsequent application organization.
