“Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM,” was a popular saying that circulated among technology professionals for a long time. When IBM’s personal computer (PC) emerged in the 1980s, it was so reliable that the company all but ruled the world of IT. Its competitors missed out on opportunities simply because purchasing IBM technology was one of the most risk-averse decisions that contracting officers across government agencies and other high-consequence industries could make.
But new times were on the horizon. Technology evolved and The Internet of Things (IoT) expanded. Less than five years ago, a new technology titan – Amazon Web Services (AWS) – surpassed IBM in a new sphere of technology: the world of cloud computing.
After years of planning, in 2013, Amazon Web Services won a $600 million contract with the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). AWS has since built a premiere, secure, selectively collaborative cloud network for the intelligence community. The contract (and that cloud) is still going strong. In fact, as of today, about 2,000 government agencies worldwide have built their secure, reliable networks with AWS.
