Government clouds are not all the same so we’re starting a dialogue on our strategy for building the Microsoft Government Cloud, exploring several areas we believe are highly valuable differentiators. Details matter when government, defense and intelligence agencies decide which cloud platform will deliver their mission critical services to citizens and constituents. Today I’m going to talk about how we support compliance with Criminal Justice Information Services, or CJIS. It’s part of our industry leading compliance portfolio and represents our commitment to doing the hard work to make compliance simpler for our customers.

I'm excited to celebrate the phenomenal growth of Azure Government and announce the availability of new services and major investments in capabilities for Department of Defense (DoD) customers.
