Amazon I am sure is contending the process by which they were chosen was unfair....
Which I am sure it was... because these decisions are always greased palms... and driven by politics not who’s the best for the job.
Hell, the DOD is now going to spend BILLIONS a year to be on a commercial EMR, even though they have have had their own one that was built completely for their specifications with your tax dollars for decades....
My experience with both of these companies in about 30 years in the IT industry, Microsoft’s Cloud Solutions are behind the curve... and Amazon has its own sets of issues as well. Personally I feel ZERO confidence with either of these vendors being part our vital military backbone...
But you go to war with the army you have....
Are there other US companies who could provide the service other than MS or Amazon?
