We have tried to reflect the impact generated at both internal and external level in such different fields like the scientific and research community and the cloud industry. In the case of the internal impact, this will be described by each partner through the updated version of their individual exploitation plans, which will have an important relevance on the overall exploitation strategy of SeaClouds. On the other hand, the external impact will be demonstrated by showing the wide list of actions carried out, like the contributions to standardization bodies or the improvements provided for related tools like Apache Brooklyn. One of the important topics of this new delivery is related to the need, realized by the consortium, of extending the project beyond the funding period. The great exploitation potential of a solution like SeaClouds together with the room for improvement that it still has, have led the consortium to consider different alternatives which, from the joint perspective, basically consist on creating an alliance to extend the life of the project for at least an additional year or to join an existing alliance, like the one created by a related project like MODAClouds, called Multi-Cloud DevOps Alliance1 and which counts with the involvement of two SeaClouds partners, namely POLIMI and Atos. Although all the partners of the consortium have stated their intention to sign the required documents (Exploitation agreement or MoU) that provides official validity to these possible Alliances, the internal procedures of some of the legal departments involved have delayed it. However, for the date of the review meeting we expect this document to be finished and signed by all the involved parties. 1 http://multiclouddevops.com/ D7.4 Final Exploitation Plan 6 1. Introduction This is the last deliverable of the exploitation series, included in WP7 under task 7.3. Herein are collected the multiple efforts carried out by the different partners to generate impact, both internally and externally to
