This will allow CCPO to integrate with and participate in DISA’s governance bodies, enabling the office to provide combat support on the cloud front to the department, he added.ĭISA’s cloud work during the pandemic enabled DOD’s pivot to mass telework. “Over the last two years, CCPO has grown from infancy to a mature operations and program office, which is the reason the decision to transition CCPO to DISA now was made.”ĬCPO will be established as its own “DISA Center,” Goemaere said. “Given CCPO’s mission of leading groundbreaking cloud transformation, DOD CIO wanted to oversee standing up the office consistent with mission intent and JEDI Cloud,” Goemaere said. Pentagon spokesperson Russell Goemaere clarified to Nextgov in an email DOD always intended to move the office to DISA “at the appropriate time.” Nancy Norton, DISA’s director and commander of the Joint Force Headquarters DOD Information Network, announced the transition Jan. Currently, the Office of the Chief Information Officer runs implementation for DOD cloud programs. Control of the Defense Department’s enterprise cloud programs office will completely transition to the Defense Information Systems Agency by the end of the month, according to Pentagon officials.ĭISA will subsume DOD’s Cloud Computing Program Office, home of the Defense Enterprise Office Solution and the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud projects, by Jan.
