Agency transition plans have some broad similarities; but each agency sees differences in its environments, infrastructures, and personnel that require different plans. **Bob Genter,** president of the defense and civilian sector at SAIC, highlights the importance of prioritizing applications for migration and having a clear roadmap for modernization. Genter says organizations that are successful in multi-cloud also focus on the usefulness of data across platforms and leverage tools that work seamlessly across different cloud infrastructures. Genter also emphasizes that multi-cloud is not just about cost, but also about security and using purpose-built infrastructures for specific use cases. He cites the ability to negotiate better discounts and gain economies of scale through aggregating purchasing power as significant advantages for agencies in multi-cloud environments. Genter describes the benefits of multi-cloud in detail, and offers advice on the decision-making process behind choosing different infrastructures for different purposes. He also explores the role of systems integrators to help customers make application placement and data management decisions. Finally, Genter reviews best practices for successful multi-cloud adoption and highlights the importance of having a clear strategy and roadmap for modernization. **Listen to the entire interview above.** For more on on this topic including cloud leaders from Air Force and the Department of Labor, listen to "[Multi-Cloud Management: How the Environment is Changing](https://fedgovtoday.com/2023/04/18/multi-cloud-management-how-the-environment-is-changing/)”    [Share this blog post on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I+found+this+interesting+blog+post&url=https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/04/18/strategies-for-success-in-multi-cloud-environments-for-federal-agencies) [Share this blog post on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/04/18/strategies-for-success-in-multi-cloud-environments-for-federal-agencies) [Share this blog post on LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/04/18/strategies-for-success-in-multi-cloud-environments-for-federal-agencies) [Guests](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/tag/guests) [Artificial Intelligence](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/tag/artificial-intelligence) [Sponsored](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/tag/sponsored) ### [Jennifer Bisceglie, CEO, Interos](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/04/25/supply-chain-integrity-challenges-and-opportunities-for-federal-agencies) [Previous article](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/04/25/supply-chain-integrity-challenges-and-opportunities-for-federal-agencies) ### [Chris Usserman,Director of Security Architecture, Infoblox](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/02/23/takeaways-from-west-2023-with-chris-usserman-of-infoblox) [Next article](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/02/23/takeaways-from-west-2023-with-chris-usserman-of-infoblox) #### You may also like [![image](https://fedgovtoday.com/hubfs/GOV%20(16).png)](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/why-data-security-is-the-foundation-of-ai-resilience) ### [Why Data Security Is the Foundation of AI Resilience](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/why-data-security-is-the-foundation-of-ai-resilience) By [Fed Gov Today](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/author/fed-gov-today) 29-Jul-2026 [0](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/why-data-security-is-the-foundation-of-ai-resilience) [![image](https://fedgovtoday.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Amy.webp)](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/07/30/amy-giovannucci-platforms-capability-lead-and-managing-director-accenture-federal-ser) ### [Amy Giovannucci, Platforms Capability Lead and Managing Director - Accenture Federal Services](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/07/30/amy-giovannucci-platforms-capability-lead-and-managing-director-accenture-federal-ser) By [montecristomedia](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/author/montecristomedia) 30-Jul-2023 [0](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/2023/07/30/amy-giovannucci-platforms-capability-lead-and-managing-director-accenture-federal-ser) [Guests](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/tag/guests) [![image](https://fedgovtoday.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/FGT_3_23_25_crow.png)](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/cloud-consolidation-ai-the-future-of-federal-it) ### [Cloud Consolidation & AI: The Future of Federal IT](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/cloud-consolidation-ai-the-future-of-federal-it) *Original Broadcast 3/23/25* By [Fed Gov Today](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/author/fed-gov-today) 20-Mar-2025 [0](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/cloud-consolidation-ai-the-future-of-federal-it) [Artificial Intelligence](https://fedgovtoday.com/industry-insights/tag/artificial-intelligence) [![logo-fgt-2026-white](https://fedgovtoday.com/hubfs/logo-fgt-2026-white.svg "logo-fgt-2026-white")](https://fedgovtoday.com/) - [About](https://fedgovtoday.com/about) - [Contact](https://fedgovtoday.com/contact) - [Privacy Policy](https://fedgovtoday.com/privacy-policy) - [Advertise](https://fedgovtoday.com/advertisement) - [Subscribe to Our Newsletter](https://fedgovtoday.com/subscribe) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fedgovtoday/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/FedGovToday) [Follow us on Twitter](http://www.youtube.com/@fedgovtoday) [Follow us on Facebook](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fed-gov-today/id1658568583) [Follow us on Facebook](mailto:John@FedGovToday.com) Copyright © Fed Gov Today, LLC 2025.
