AWS and Booz Allen Forge Stronger Alliance to Advance Federal Digital Transformation
Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., and Booz Allen Hamilton have announced an expanded partnership aimed at transforming U.S. federal agencies through cutting-edge technologies. This strategic collaboration seeks to accelerate digital transformation, improve operational efficiency, and enable federal agencies to implement advanced technologies across vital missions, including intelligence, defense, and civil programs.
Meeting Federal Challenges with Innovation
U.S. federal agencies face growing demands to innovate while managing costs and strengthening security. Recognizing these challenges, AWS and Booz Allen have intensified their partnership to deliver agile, enterprise-ready solutions tailored to critical federal missions. As part of this initiative, Booz Allen will now provide reusable and scalable digital tools designed to optimize cloud migration, enhance cybersecurity, and integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI).
These advanced solutions are poised to address diverse federal objectives—from bolstering national security with AI-driven insights to deploying zero-trust cybersecurity frameworks, modernizing IT infrastructure, and enabling groundbreaking scientific research through high-performance computing (HPC).
Combining Expertise for Impactful Solutions
The partnership blends Booz Allen’s extensive technical expertise with AWS’s robust cloud services, creating a powerful synergy that promises scalable, secure, and sustainable outcomes for federal clients. Agencies collaborating with AWS and Booz Allen will also gain access to the AWS Migration Acceleration Program, which offers benefits such as complimentary proof-of-concept trials, migration assessments, and AWS credits to facilitate seamless adoption of advanced technologies.
“Our partnership with Booz Allen is driven by a shared mission to empower federal agencies with tools that enhance operations, increase efficiency, and strengthen security—all while controlling costs,” stated Dave Levy, Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector at AWS.
Echoing this sentiment, Bill Vass, Chief Technology Officer at Booz Allen, noted, “Federal agencies operate in an environment of unprecedented complexity and rapid evolution. By combining Booz Allen’s legacy of delivering innovative solutions with AWS’s robust infrastructure, we can co-develop technologies that deliver transformative results and help agencies achieve critical missions faster.”
Real-World Success Stories
AWS and Booz Allen have a longstanding history of delivering impactful solutions for federal missions. One notable example is their collaboration with U.S. Army Japan in the Indo-Pacific region, where they implemented zero-trust and edge communication technologies. By leveraging tools such as AWS Shield and Cloud Edge Global Access, the partnership improved data encryption and operational effectiveness in demanding environments, enhancing military readiness.
Michael Deeter, Director of Cyber/Dark Horizon at U.S. Army Japan, highlighted the partnership’s significance: “The Indo-Pacific’s rapidly evolving threat landscape demands rugged, scalable, and secure technology solutions. Booz Allen and AWS provide mission-ready tools like Dark Horizon to address these challenges and maintain operational readiness.”
Advancing AI and Cybersecurity Innovations
This partnership expansion coincides with Booz Allen’s recognition as AWS’s Federal Government Partner of the Year, solidifying its position as a leader in AI and cybersecurity for the U.S. federal government. Booz Allen’s involvement in AWS’s Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance underscores its commitment to helping agencies conceptualize and implement AI-powered solutions. These initiatives are expected to drive significant innovation and productivity improvements across government operations.
