The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is becoming only the second federal agency to move its big backend office systems to the cloud. NRC has awarded a 23 million dollar contract to transition its Financial Accounting and Integrated Management Information System to a privately-hosted infrastructure. The agency had been using hosting services provided by the Interior Department. The NRC decision follows a similar move by the Labor department last year, when moved its financial systems to a private cloud.
