- Google offers the US government a “temporary” discount of 71%
- Gemini was the first AI assistant to obtain high authorization from Fedramp
- 2 billion dollars in savings, a 99%availability SLA, interoperability and others are promised
Google has revealed plans to break Microsoft’s domination when it comes to being the main supplier of American government software by introducing important discounts to become more competitive.
Google Workspace is now offered to all federal agencies to a huge 71% discount via a government -scale agreement, Tony Orlando, GM Specialty Sales for Google Public Sector, in a blog article.
“Government agencies are counting on computer suppliers to provide secure, compliant and efficient technology to help finish their vital missions,” wrote Orlando.
Google Workspace now 71% cheaper for American government agencies
Orlando has confirmed that “Workspace is an authorized communication and collaboration platform of Fedramp High”, combining popular applications like Drive, Docs and Meet with more modern developments like Gemini AI and improved collaboration. Gemini was also the first AI assistant to receive a high authorization from Fedramp.
Google already supports “hundreds of thousands” of workers from the Air Force Ministry of Energy and Research Laboratory with its software, and hopes to be able to attract more users of the Microsoft ecosystem.
The company estimates that federal agencies could save up to $ 2 billion over three years with the adoption at the government level, and although the comparison is not cited, it is possible that it is a search for current Microsoft contracts.
The 71% presentation on Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Ensuresd Controls Plus is considered a temporary discount to coincide with Trump’s desire that the government is treated as a single buyer thanks to the centralization of computer contracts and purchase.
Speaking about the advantages of Google Workspace, Orlando noted strong safety, a 99%availability SLA, excellent interoperability, productivity improved by AI and new efficiency.
