Industry group lobbies Congress for transparency on DOD cloud strategy

摘要

An industry group representing information technology contractors wants Congress to provide greater transparency on the Pentagon's controversial plans to award a potentially lucrative cloud-computing contract to a single company. Congress should publicly release an upcoming Pentagon report detailing its acquisition plans for a new cloud-computing system -- the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, according to an April 30 letter from the IT Alliance for Public Sector to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate appropriations committees.
