BAE Systems is partnering with software firm Flexera to leverage the company’s asset management capabilities on the cloud migration product its readying for potential federal and military customers.
Under the partnership, announced Monday, Flexera will provide software licensing tools for federated secure cloud, a migration solution being jointly developed by BAE Systems and Dell Technologies [DVMT].
“With our federated secure cloud, we’re helping government agencies rethink how they share data, analyze information, and collaborate across their enterprises real-time while remaining consistent with strict governance and security requirements. “It’s only natural that we’d partner with Flexera, a company reimagining how government IT assets and software licenses are bought, sold, managed, and secured,” Peder Jungck, vice president of BAE Systems’ Intelligence Solutions division, said in a statement.
BAE and Dell in April announced plans to develop federated secure cloud, and collaborate on the effort to offer the first scalable, hybrid cloud solution for for federal agencies, the intelligence community and the Department of Defense.
Flexera will integrate asset management tools intended to help government customers improve management of software licenses during migration to the cloud.
“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,” Cindy Grogan, Flexera’s vice president of Global Alliances, said in a statement.
