Starting on 1 May, it will renew the existing MOU and will run until April 2024. This new agreement with Microsoft builds on the government s One Government Cloud Strategy, which supports the key principle of treating government as one single customer, Gareth Rhys Williams, the government s chief commercial officer said. It shows the government s determination to drive transformation as well as adopt value for money technologies that improve services and ensure government departments and their staff have the digital tools they need, now and in the future.
The DTA21 MOU covers products such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 E5 Security and Compliance, Phone System Calling Plans, Dynamics 365, PowerApps, Azure Cognitive Services and AI, Azure Analytics, Azure Synapse and Azure Arc.
The global coronavirus pandemic has validated Microsoft’s hybrid go-to-market strategy that recognises the cloud is not a one-size-fits-all solution and providers must meet customers where they are on their digital transformation journeys, according to JG Chirapurath, vice president of Azure data, artificial intelligence (AI) and edge.
“Our approach has not fundamentally changed,” Chirapurath said. “Ultimately, we are not just building a cloud or a product, we are solving a customer’s real business problems. While you can never completely predict the future, staying close to a customer or a set of customers really tells you the day-to-day challenges that they are dealing with. And, if anything, this pandemic has effectively brought us very close with some of our best customers.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who’s been absorbed in the technology giant’s “partner-first” culture for nearly 30 years, spends a lot of time contemplating how solution providers are impacted by every decision the company makes.
“One of the things that I want to design in our core is whether it’s the move from license to consumption or license to subscriptions what is the partner opportunity,” Nadella said in an exclusive interview with CRN. “We want to [know] from day one in any change we make whether it’s a program change or business model change what does it mean for partners?”
