- Oracle will offer the US government 75% on certain software packages
- It will also offer “substantial” cloud service rewards
- The company has close links with the government
Oracle will offer the US federal government a huge 75% reduction in software based on a license and other “substantial” discounts on cloud services until November.
The news, reported by Wall Street JournalFollows several weeks of discounts by technology giants trying to win large government offers, in response to cost reduction efforts that occurred by the Musc -based government department.
However, this marks the first agreement to provide a surrender of the government on cloud infrastructure, including data storage, IT and networking, depending on the report.
Oracle given to the United States government
As part of the cost reduction initiative, the General Services Administration aims to use purchasing power across the government to negotiate better technological offers, removing siloes and removing intermediaries to stimulate the largest economies.
Salesforce has already offered the US government a narcotic 90% discount on Slack, while Google and Adobe are also part of a growing list of prices technological companies.
In addition to reducing costs, the US government also undergoes a fairly large transformation to modernize obsolete IT systems.
The US government already working in close collaboration with Oracle, the 75% software reduction and the other cloud discounts could guarantee a large part of income for the Texas -based technology giant. He recently launched a new program to help small suppliers to sell at the Ministry of Defense, and is also a major partner for the Openai Stargate project which aims to extend AI infrastructure in the United States.
The CEO of Oracle, Safra Catz, explained: “We remain firmly in our commitment to the American government and are delighted to work with the GSA to help each department and agency to modernize their technology and to benefit from the advantages of Oracle Cloud and the AI.”
The federal commissioner on acquisition services, Josh Gruenbaum, praised the discounts, adding that transparency concerning the acquisition of technology could attack “waste, fraud and cost -taking”.
