While Oracle failed to derail the contract and was never in a position to win the JEDI contract, its new partnership with Microsoft means it can still benefit from the deal. One analyst told Business Insider: "Oracle seems to have lost the battle, but won the war." And while Oracle failed to derail the contract process, its outcome has turned out to be a win for the tech giant, especially in light of its surprise partnership with its longtime arch-nemesis Microsoft.

The project would be worth billions of dollars in revenue over the coming years — as much as $10 billion. It would also boost the winner's position in an increasingly competitive cloud market. "Microsoft was playing from behind in terms of from the technology perspective," he told Business Insider. who is the company's point-man in Washington told Business Insider in July. "Customers buy the clouds that fit their particular needs, which is almost always more than one. This one-size fits all idea is, I think, limited to JEDI and promoted by Amazon, because it fits Amazon's needs."

"It's not clear that Oracle will ever get a piece of the JEDI action – even if the procurement approach is reassessed. However, Oracle has smart lawyers and the cases it pursues often have merit. So at a minimum, Oracle's lawsuit probably throws some sand in the wheels of the JEDI process." The tone of the dispute appeared to turn nasty at times. In a stinging rebuke of Oracle, the Pentagon in a June court filing defended its decision not to consider the Silicon Valley giant's bid by essentially saying that Oracle's platform is simply inferior to the cloud technology of either Microsoft or Amazon.
