Event Summary

The Pentagon announced a nearly $7 billion, up-to-10-year Enterprise Software Agreement with Oracle to consolidate on-premises software licenses into a single contract. The deal, negotiated by the Department of the Navy, covers the Pentagon, U.S. Coast Guard, and intelligence community, and is expected to save at least $441 million in taxpayer savings. This follows a similar $9.69 billion agreement with Microsoft in May, part of a broader push by Pentagon CIO Kirsten Davies to reduce duplicative software spending.
