The Pentagon inspector general office launched a probe into the case to see whether Donald Trump has used his influence to award the cloud contract to Microsoft. Investigators later said they found no evidence, but some White House officials refused to cooperate with the investigation. The Department of Defense finally decided to cancel the JEDI project because it could no longer meet its needs. The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) project is now shared between four major cloud services providers, and each company receives a portion of this $9 billion contract. These companies should provide the Department of Defense with centralized management and distributed control, global accessibility, advanced data analytics, fortified security, and more. The contract continues until 2028.
