Financing
 What are we financing
 Design/Setup/Establishment/Hosting of the Service Brokerage (virtual interface)
 Management and execution of the Service Brokerage to include mechanisms,
catalogues, Operating Instructions, etc.
 Technical assessments for certification
 Overhead costs (office space, equipment, supplies, etc.)
 Three proposed ways to finance the Initiative
 Use the present ICH/IT-AAC Partnership structure
 Set up a separate “Partnership” structure
 As a transaction fee for each transaction (Post IOC)

Proposed CONOPS (Big Picture)
 ICH will establish a Partnership Agreement for the Agile Cloud Service Brokerage
(ACSB)
 ICH will be the honest broker between industry and the Government
 ICH will make Government requirements know to industry
 ICH will make industry capabilities known to Government purchasers
 ICH will not make recommendations to the Government or to industry but will
merely objectively provide the information requested
 ICH will broker certification of industry Agile Cloud Service offerings with vendors
 Gov’t orgs will make purchases and place orders through the ICH ACSB
 Companies can use own GSA Schedules to provide Agile Cloud Service offerings
 Companies without GSA Schedules may have their Agile Cloud Service offerings
facilitated by the ICH for an appropriate contracting vehicle
 The ultimate goal is to establish a fee for Agile Cloud Service model similar to the
telecom model (FOC)

Initial CONOPS (Start Up)
 Companies commit to six months participation in the ACSB by Session 3 (required to participate )
 As a founding partner initial participation gets companies
 A role in helping to shape the environment
 Companies provide resources for Interoperability certification
 Maximum of two certifications to sell Agile Cloud Services through the Services Brokerage
 Listing of Service Offerings during start up and IOC (First exposure)
 The initial six month period includes:
 Three months for:
 Design/Setup/Establishment/Hosting of the Service Brokerage
 Management of the Brokerage to include mechanisms, catalogues, OIs, etc.
 Technical assessments for certification
 Overhead expenses (obtaining office space, equipment, supplies, etc.)
 Three months of operation (IOC) (Limited to CCs, POs or existing contracting vehicles)
 Participation in Agile Cloud Working Groups
 Estimated cost for founding partnership: (six months)
 Large Companies (<$100M) – $50K
 Medium Companies ($15M – $100M) – $30K
 Small Companies (>$15M) – $10K

Sustainment CONOPS
 Founding partners pay the same partnership fees for the next 6 months with same benefits
 Companies wanting to become partners after the initial six month period pay the partnership fee
plus the fees for certification to sell Agile Cloud Services through the brokerage
 Certification ensures interoperability and compatibility with the rest of the service offerings
 Once services are certified, only cost is annual fee
 All new services must be certified to be sold through the brokerage on a fee for service
basis
 Should partnership fees and/or certification fees not cover expenses a transaction fee
mechanism may be invoked to ensure viability of the operation
 Government partnership fees TBD
 FOC – TBD (Agile Cloud Service model similar to the telecom model)
