Amazon Web Services to provide US government agencies with up to $1 billion in savings
Amazon Web Services has agreed to provide US government agencies with up to $1 billion in savings for cloud adoption, modernisation and training through the end of 2028, the US General Services Administration said on Thursday.
The agency said the agreement with the unit of Amazon.com “will accelerate large-scale IT transformation across government and spur AI innovation.” A government report in March said the federal government annually spends more than $100 billion to manage IT systems, acquire new systems, or update old ones. Amazon has won billions of dollars in contracts to help federal agencies transition to the cloud and for other services. The US government has struggled for years to modernize its aging IT systems.
