Agencies show high interest in Interior's $10B cloud contract

Federal Times: The Interior Department’s $10 billion cloud services contract is generating considerable interest within the department and across government, according to the department’s top IT official.

“There have been a lot of inquiries,” said Interior’s CIO Sylvia Burns in an interview. “We’ve had 15 separate agencies who have approached us asking about using our contract. I think in total, we have had 104 specific inquiries from across the board. We have awarded many orders. I don’t have a specific number for you, but we have awarded several of them. They include things like using Infrastructure as a Service to support our public web hosting needs, and Platform as a Service — we have done that recently with implementations of SAP.”
