SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Agile IT — a
provider of cloud managed services, business intelligence, and
software integration — has become one of only six vendors approved
by Microsoft to sell licenses for Office 365 Government Community
Cloud High (GCC High) to organizations with fewer than 500
employees, allowing it to expand its government cloud
solutions to a broader network of government contractors.
San Diego has a
rapidly-growing military and
government contractor population, and Agile IT now has the tools to
provide full-scale cloud solutions and GCC migrations to this
population — no matter the size of their business or work nature.
This means that contractors handling DoD UIC will have the capability to scale to
a cloud environment that can handle this information with security
and compliance (e.g., NIST 800-53, DFARS
252.204-7012, DoD SRG L5/4,
etc.). The upcoming Defense Department Defense Enterprise Office
Solutions (DEOS) contract is expected to create increased demand
for veteran cloud managed service providers.
About Microsoft GCC and GCC High
Microsoft's GCC and GCC High solutions help U.S. government
agencies and contractors remain productive, secure, and
compliance-ready through a highly-secure cloud architecture. While
GCC and GCC High mirror many of the commercial cloud offerings,
they come with additional features and functionality in a unique
environment custom-tailored for government standards.
To help the United States
government sector meet compliance and regulatory concerns as well
as safety protocols, Microsoft developed GCC to deliver its cloud
productivity suite, Office 365, to regulated government agencies
and contractors. Microsoft GCC High was built to satisfy
DoD and government contractors
working with DoD Controlled
Unclassified Information (CUI).
While GCC High retains access to the core features that make
Office 365 approachable — Skype, Exchange, SharePoint, etc. — there
will be minor variations that are necessary to maintain compliance
and government-level security. This includes isolated datacenters,
additional controls for both Microsoft and client users and
multi-factor authentication that's capable of accepting PIV
and CAC cards.
