Abstract
The aim of the Service Design Studio project is to provide methods and tools to enable the deployment of existing software in cloud environments based on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. As the project focuses on logistics IT services, the approach is contributing to a new ‘Logistics-as-a-Service’ offering. This article provides a description of the requirements analysis for enabling logistics IT services to be offered in cloud environments, the concepts for the necessary methods and tools, and the implementation of a proof of concept Service Design Studio environment.
