It's more likely that Microsoft Office will become 100% "cloud" based software.


That's never going to happen. The US government is a huge Microsoft Office customer, and national security-sensitive documents cannot be placed in a cloud that's not completely controlled by the government.


Sounds like they'd build a Gov-Office365 cloud if there's a deal just like AWS Govcloud.



There’s already a US Government Community Cloud for moderate risk (.com) and a US GovCloid for higher risk (.us) workloads.

As with all things multicloud and Microsoft, it’s easy to get into trouble in the community cloud.


Have you heard of AWG Gov tier?
