Show Notes
JEDI was a blockbuster award to Microsoft as they bested Amazon Web Services but don't call it an upset. In fact, many systems integrators are giving it a simple shrug of the shoulders because the winner really wasn't that critical for them. Most SIs work with both Microsoft and AWS so they saw an opportunity to support JEDI no matter who won.
Wilkers and Wakeman also discuss protests and Oracle's continuing fight against JEDI. And then there is the mergers and acquisition activity which remains strong.
The pair discuss what these activities mean and what's next as we head into the final weeks of 2019.
