In parallel with its user’s demands, Microsoft is also evolving the cloud stack offering by introducing Microsoft 365 for US Government, Azure Stack on Azure Government, New Regions Dedicated to Secret US Classified Data and New Certifications for Dynamics 365.
Most of these new services come with the backing of Microsoft’s continued partnerships with government customers to attain well over 72 compliance regime support and the most number of certifications to-date of any cloud solutions provider.
During Microsoft’s Government Tech Summit this month, the company went over more details of its Microsoft 365 for US government general availability features which include:
A complete solution for the modern workplace comprised of Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Windows 10, Microsoft 365 for US Government provides agencies with tools for mobile productivity and secure collaboration.
