The General Services Administration has selected CGI Federal Inc. to transition the GSA’s websites — including Data.gov and USA.gov — to cloud computing, CGI announced Tuesday.
The five-year, $20.7 million contract was awarded under the GSA’s infrastructure-as-a-service blanket purchase agreement. The GSA’s office of citizen services and innovative technologies will lead the project.
CGI will provide a public cloud infrastructure and provide end-to-end services required for cloud environments.
“Cloud technologies present a great opportunity to improve citizen services and build a strong, yet flexible, foundation for innovation,“ said Lynne Bushey, a CGI vice president. “These are both important goals we will focus on to help OCSIT achieve their mission of providing data, information, and services to citizens.“
