To apply for GCC High, you must complete the three-step validation process, which can take 3 – 7 days if done correctly. These steps include first requesting validation by reaching out to Microsoft to be registered as a Category 3 entity, then providing the corresponding documentation that proves you handle at least one of the aforementioned types of information, and finally working with an Agreement for Online Services for Government (AOS-G) Partner to submit the GCC High licensing request. Once approved, you can finally purchase GCC High through a trusted information technology solutions provider – such as RSM!
“Microsoft is committed to delivering cloud services to the US Government and their contractors. We could not do this work without the support of the partner ecosystem, and we are thrilled that RSM is now able to sell GCC High directly to customers. This will undoubtedly accelerate the journey to the cloud and, in doing so, empower agencies and contractors to achieve their mission objectives.” said Lili Davoudian, Senior Technical Specialist at Microsoft.
