Bloomberg reports U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to become involved in the contract. As we have discussed in the past, some cloud companies are unhappy with the terms of the JEDI contract.
Trump’s Involvement
It seems some Republican members of Congress agree with Orcale’s stance. They have written to the White House arguing the terms of the JEDI contract have frozen some cloud providers out. Trump is reportedly angered by this development and has ordered the Pentagon to provide him with more information regarding JEDI. While it was assumed the war cloud project was now between two companies, Trump could open the door to a multi-vendor deal.
