LightBUY - Developing Cloud Sales Design Specifications from the Ground Up

Abstract

The sales service associated with cloud products represents a crucial component in the commercialization of the cloud computing sector. Although comprehensive analyses and clear definitions exist within the consumer-to-consumer (C2C) context, a standardized framework for the procurement of cloud computing solutions in the business-to-business (B2B) environment remains undeveloped. It is essential to address various user roles, accommodate intricate cloud computing scenarios, and enhance user efficiency in B2B contexts. This subject is inherently complex, and the substantial variations among cloud computing products necessitate rigorous requirements for high-level design architecture. Therefore, instead of focusing on a system design in its entirety, we are concentrating on the structural architecture with the goal of improving its executability, stability, and coherence. Additionally, we are aiming to provide an industry-standard reference for purchasing scenarios in the cloud computing domain.
