GSA, SalesForce agree to major Slack discounts for government
Summary
"The private sector is experiencing first hand through the OneGov initiative that President [Donald] Trump’s GSA is committed to being a good partner as we work together to deliver the best tools for the government at the best value for taxpayers. These deals are a harbinger for the next phase, which is already underway, of longer term commitments from industry at discounted pricing in the new fiscal year and beyond." In early April, Google announced a discount on its Workspace software suite that could save agencies as much as $2 billion over three years, and Adobe followed suit in early May, discounting prices for government customers on its document management software. Slack will help transform government operations by providing a secure, FedRAMP-authorized work operating system that accelerates decision-making and unifies agencies," Dave Rey, President of Salesforce Public Sector, said in a statement. "Paired with Salesforce’s robust ecosystem, data processes and AI agents, Slack enables government agencies to enhance productivity and deliver citizen-focused outcomes with precision and speed."
