Amazon is a trillion-dollar company, thanks to artificial intelligence. The cloud giants are vying for a piece of a new Department of Defense contract after the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud contract, or JEDI , fizzled out, but that may be an opportunity for smaller software companies to win big, too.
It also gives a multitude of software providers, like ServiceNow , Splunk , and Databricks , the potential win big. In fact, the Pentagon's software spending is expected to "explode" over the next two years, with plenty of chances for tech companies of all sizes to get involved, Alex Rossino, an analyst at the government-contracting research firm Deltek, said.
After the Pentagon awarded the contract to Microsoft in , Amazon challenged the win and said the evaluation process "contained clear deficiencies, errors, and unmistakable bias. While Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, have already begun lobbying for the new contract , smaller companies will have a chance to sell their cloud services on a new marketplace that the Pentagon is considering launching a couple years after JWCC is awarded this spring, according to FedScoop.
The marketplace would act as "an Amazon for cloud capabilities," Rossino told Insider. That would mean any DOD customer could access and use a bevy of cloud products right away, knowing they passed security muster.
While the Pentagon's cloud-infrastructure spend is likely to be concentrated in the major cloud providers, software is still "a wide-open field" for companies hoping to cash in, Rossino said.
Any cloud provider that wins a piece of JWCC has much to gain when it comes to credibility and market share. The tech giants, along with several other enterprise companies, have agreed to a series of principles related to customer data and government regulations. The group outlined a handful of key principles, including that governments should engage customers first, with only narrow exceptions; customers should have a right to notice; cloud providers should have a right to protect customers' interests; governments should address conflict of law; and governments should support cross-border data flow.
