- Google is offering the United States government a “temporary” discount of 71%
- Gemini was the first assistant to obtain a high authorization from Fedramp
- $ 2 billion in savings, an activity time of 99%, interoperability and more are promised
Google has revealed plans to break Microsoft’s dominance when it comes to being the main software provider for the United States government by introducing significant discounts to be more competitive.
Google’s work space is now being offered to all federal agencies with a large discount of 71% through an agreement throughout the government, Tony Orlando, specialized sales of GM for the public sector of Google, confirmed in a blog post.
“Government agencies trust IT suppliers to provide safe, compatible and efficient technology to help complete their vital missions,” Orlando wrote.
Google Workspace now 71% cheaper for government agencies in the United States
Orlando confirmed that “the work space is a high authorization communication and collaboration platform by Fedramp, which combines popular applications such as Drive, Docs and meet with more modern developments such as Gemini AI and an improved collaboration. Gemini was also the first assistant to receive a high authorization from Fedramp.
Google already admits “hundreds of thousands” of workers from the entire department of Energy and the Air Force Research Laboratory with its software, and hopes to attract more users away from the Microsoft ecosystem.
The company acknowledges that federal agencies could save up to $ 2 billion for three years with the adoption of the entire government, and although the comparison is not cited, this may be an excavation to current Microsoft contracts.
The 71% discount on Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Assured Controls Plus is considered a temporary discount to coincide with Trump’s desire that the government is treated as a single buyer through the centralization of contracts and purchases of IT.
Speaking about the benefits of Google’s work space, Orlando pointed out a strong security, an activity time of 99%, excellent interoperability, improved productivity with AI and new efficiencies.
