Chris Cruz, chief deputy director of the California Department of Technology and deputy state CIO, discussed the Amazon and Microsoft cloud contracts at California’s Technology’s Forum last week with e.Republic’s Steve Towns.
Cruz cited high FedRAMP standards, interoperability and cost savings as three reasons California chose those vendors. Using two vendors allows each agency to standardize procurement, security and the platform while maintaining flexibility in cloud options.
The interview with Cruz was among several that will be published on Techwire in coming days and weeks.
