  11. Users’ needs(requirements & feedback) •  main conclusion : users do not require new services, but the improvement of current service •  Main positive feedback : • wide range of products with at the same time observation/modeling products • no more complaints after registration process has been improved • Users value the one stop shop. • like the subsetting functionality that allow them to download a part of a product. • main feeling that comes out about the service desk is really good. Users appreciate that the Service Desk provides an answer to any request quickly.

  12. Users’ needs(requirements & feedback) • Main requests or negative feedbacks considered : • products could cover a longer period of time than the one currently proposed. • some requests about new products which mainly concern atmospheric forcings. • still difficult for some users to be able to find products in the catalogue. • to have a better overview of the catalogue and to have search criteria expanded to better target the products available in the catalogue. • MyOcean doesn’t manage properly the download of large volume of products. • In some cases, inconsistency between the information about the product (notably regarding the time coverage) and the product itself • all datasets can’t be visualized • Visualization of a dataset is too slow. • Comm’ messsages concerning incidents/maintenance sent to users are too numerous. Since February 2012 : messages recorded in “News Flash” + sent to users who chose the opt-in option. No more negative feedbacks after March 2012.
