The Pentagon’s fraught, three-year effort to build up its cloud-computing technology meets its next test on Friday as it faces off in a U.S. appeals court against Oracle Corp., which is challenging the terms of a $10 billion contract awarded to Microsoft Corp.
Oracle is fighting a Court of Federal Claims ruling that the company wasn’t harmed by any errors the Pentagon made in developing the contract proposal or by any conflict of interest with Amazon.com Inc. because it wouldn’t have qualified for the contract anyway.
