- Oracle will offer the US government 75% discount on certain software packages
- It will also offer “substantial” discounts of cloud service
- The company has close links with the government
According to reports, Oracle offers the United States Federal Government a great 75% discount on software based on licenses and “substantial” discounts on cloud services until November.
The news, reported by Wall Street JournalIt follows several weeks of discounts by the technological giants trying to gain great government offers, in response to the cost reduction efforts that lead by the Efficiency Department of the Government based on musk.
However, this is the first agreement that offers a discount throughout the government in the cloud infrastructure, which includes data storage, computing and networks, according to the report.
Oracle discounts to the United States government
As part of the cost reduction initiative, the General Services Administration aims to use the purchasing power of the entire government to negotiate better technological agreements, eliminating silos and eliminate intermediaries to boost the greatest savings.
Salesforce has already offered the United States government an amazing 90% discount on Slack, while Google and Adobe are also part of a growing list of technological companies that lower prices.
In addition to reducing costs, the United States government is also experiencing a rather large transformation to modernize obsolete IT systems.
With the United States government already working in close collaboration with Oracle, the 75% software discount and the cloud discounts could ensure a large part of the income for the Texas -based technological giant. He recently launched a new program to help smaller suppliers to sell to the Department of Defense, and is also an important partner for the OpenAI Stargate project that aims to expand AI infrastructure in the United States.
The Oracle CEO, Safra Catz, explained: “We are still firm in our commitment to the United States government and we are delighted to work with the GSA to help each department and agency modernize its technologies and obtain the benefits of Oracle Cloud and AI.”
The Federal Commissioner of the Acquisition Service, Josh Gruenbaum, welcomed the discounts, added that transparency around technological acquisition could address “waste, fraud and leading food.”
