The Pentagon on Wednesday announced a US$9 billion cloud contract that reports indicate will virtually cut out resellers and involve System Integrators (SIs). This move is part of an effort to speed up the delivery of cloud services to the Department of Defense (DoD).
According to published reports, the contract will be managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Resellers and vendors who have been providing cloud services to the DoD will now be unable to do so, and instead must partner with the SIs.
