Long awaited decision for $10B cloud contract went to Microsoft over Amazon. (Surprise) What went wrong for Amazon? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/technology/dod-jedi-contract.html TC 180
Because Microsoft is more qualified in - availability zones and regions - more feature complete - has more secret and top secret cleared employees - has all required accreditation, including the highest - has the greatest marketshare and adoption in both enterprise and startup worlds - is not taking shortcuts to catchup to other competitors in the space - has superior customer service and obsession - has experience with local, state, and federal (CIA, DOJ) agencies and a proven track record - Trump doesn’t hate them 🙃
We work with DOJ and DOD already, but I thought AWS had the existing CIA contract? Or do we both?
Trump was confused Amazon was a river in Egypt. "We are buying clouds from Middle East now? Don't we have clouds of our own? I was assured by my yuge pocket coal friends we have lots of black clouds"
You tried 😬
Microsoft won on merit—and Trump hates Amazon.
