to drive digital modernization, deliver efficiencies and advance

such as quantum, edge computing and high-performance computing.
GDIT will combine its decades of mission and technology
experience with AWS's cloud offerings to solve complex government
challenges. The companies will work closely with customers to
identify new use cases and rapidly develop proofs of concept and
solutions for a wide variety of missions. These will include:
- Bolstering cybersecurity for defense agencies
- Enhancing real-time intelligence
- Improving healthcare outcomes
- Reducing fraud, waste and abuse at civilian
agencies
- Advancing high-performance computing research
"As government and national security priorities evolve rapidly,
federal agencies need industry partners to bring more to their
missions," said Ben Gianni, GDIT's
senior vice president and chief technology officer. "GDIT and AWS
share a common vision of how to harness advanced technologies to
drive innovation, efficiency and mission impact. This agreement
marks a new, exciting phase in our ongoing partnership with AWS,
and we look forward to delivering cost-effective and differentiated
solutions to our customers."
"GDIT's collaboration with AWS will advance the modernization
and efficiency of our U.S. Federal customers at a critical time of
government digital transformation," said David Appel, vice president of U.S. Federal at
AWS. "Our new agreement will deliver AWS's advanced cloud services,
including generative AI solutions with Amazon Bedrock, NOVA, and Q,
to federal agencies working on some of America's most important
missions. Together, our companies continue to drive secure,
scalable, and cost-effective solutions in defense, intelligence,
and citizen services that enhance American AI leadership at home
and abroad."
As one of the largest providers of cloud services to the U.S.
government, GDIT operates hundreds of active cloud programs across
government agencies. The company's cloud practice includes
thousands of professionals who support agencies to migrate and
manage some of the most sensitive workloads in highly regulated
environments. This agreement builds on GDIT's existing position as
an AWS Premier Consulting Partner and is a key part of the
company's technology investment strategy launched in 2023, which
emphasized deepening relationships with commercial technology
companies to advance innovation.
