A new press release reports, “BAE Systems announced a new strategic partnership with Flexera to help government agencies moving to the cloud better manage their software licenses and more accurately plan and budget for their future information technology (IT) needs. Under the partnership, BAE Systems, a company with unparalleled experience managing the cloud complexities that arise during cloud migrations, will integrate Flexera’s leading asset and license management tools into its scalable, hybrid cloud environment for government. The federated secure cloud, developed by BAE Systems and Dell EMC, is designed from the ground up to meet mission needs and security requirements for any U.S. Intelligence Community, Department of Defense (DoD), or federal/civilian government organization.”

The release continues, “Flexera’s rich technology asset data, automation capabilities, and analytics will add a new dimension to the complexities of software licensing in a federated secure cloud. It will empower adopters to get the most out of their IT investments. ‘Together with BAE Systems, we are providing government agencies with a secure mission-ready cloud that arrives fully-embedded with the tools necessary to mitigate the complicated and potentially costly hardware and software license management challenges many agencies fear when moving to cloud environments,’ said Cindy Grogan, vice president of Global Alliances at Flexera. The federated secure cloud has the flexibility to operate seamlessly on any Microsoft Azure, AWS or on-premise cloud system, yet can be customized to support any government organization transitioning to a secure hybrid cloud environment – to include smaller forward-operating units.”
