Lockheed Moving EPA Email to Microsoft Cloud

Lockheed Martin will transition the Environmental Protection Agency’s email system to a Microsoft-based cloud email and collaboration system, Nextgov reports.

Citing an agency statement, Joseph Marks reports the nearly 18,000 employee email accounts will be in the cloud by early 2013.

The EPA expects to save $12 million over four years, according to the report.

Several federal agencies have announced plans to move their email to the cloud or have already done so, such as the General Services Administration, which completed its cloud transition last summer.

Within the Commerce Department, the National Institute for Standards and Technology is set to be that department’s first agency to move its email into a cloud infrastructure.
