Use Case title: Support for development of specific user-friendly frameworks to access worldwide grid infrastructure

Short description: If EGI tries to unify the underlying middleware available currently worldwide what will be the procedure how to approach research groups described as follows: a group of researchers have their own computational/data resources however these are not fully utilized. They are running a specific middleware and their users are satisfied with the current situation. Nevertheless, the community would like to join global grid infrastructure. What kind of support can the described community expect? Does the group have to strictly reinstall their resources using recommend middleware or will there be any EGI/NGI support to help develop a gateway/framework in coordination with local administrators/developers for interaction with the research group?

Actors involved: local research community, VO operator, NGI operator
