CHARM - Overview

• The aim of CHARM is to define a new generation of traffic management systems, that may be jointly purchased.

• The outcomes are:

– To a high extent support the traffic management processes in each organisation, currently and within the foreseeable future;

– Enable operational resilience (in case of fire, power failure, etc.);– Support a managed service model, promote functional

development during the operational phase, and prevent vendor lock-in;

– Enable the total cost of ownership to be reduced significantly from the parties' current generation of traffic management centers.

Background• The organisations:

– Have worked together to share knowledge and experience.– Are very similar and share similar problems.– Face similar issues in addressing rising cost of ownership and

vendor lock-in.– Wish to decouple their technology solutions from the business

requirements so that new operating models can be implemented and achieve efficiency savings.

• Aggregating the demand from several organisations increases the potential for expanding the market and reducing costs.

Scope

• Functions Definition for Procurement Purposes– Are we aligned?

• Market Consultation– Is it feasible?

• Joint Procurement Strategy to Expand Market– How do we get there?

Confidence
