SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) and Pivotal Software, Inc., today announced
that Raytheon has joined the Pivotal Ready Partner Program to
assist the Department of Defense to develop software capabilities
to more rapidly bring new technology to the military. The agreement
establishes an important relationship that will help the DoD
migrate legacy applications to the cloud and accelerate software
development and delivery timelines.
"This partnership marks the end of 'business as usual' for
defense contractors," said Todd
Probert, vice president of mission support and modernization
at Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. "The software
enabled battlefield of the future demands new tools for the modern
warfighter. Raytheon's deep mission knowledge and expertise in
systems and software combined with Pivotal's innovative processes,
tools and speed will change the way our military harnesses the
power of technology."
Pivotal Cloud Foundry brings a software-led digital
transformation to its customers. Through its cloud-native platform,
Pivotal has helped hundreds of commercial customers, and recently
the DoD, modernize their legacy systems, significantly improving
delivery time and generating millions in cost savings.
"Today we are seeing government organizations embrace software
as a strategic asset to rapidly respond to change, and Pivotal is
helping enable that shift," said Nick
Cayou, vice president, global alliances at Pivotal. "Since
moving at startup speed is on the minds of every government
organization, the collaboration between Pivotal and Raytheon will
help customers drastically improve cycle time and go from idea to
production software in days and weeks, not months and years."
