Why We Formed SBMCC

Organizations should be able to use the best solution using the best technology available at the best level of investment, whether they are in the public or private sector. It is for this reason that we joined together to form the Small Business Multi-Cloud Coalition. We are dedicated to advocating for ways that will ensure our customers have the ability to choose the most innovative and secure IT products and services, switching between vendors seamlessly and as they see fit.

We know that a mono-cloud solution limits the ability to imagine those bold and innovative approaches that result in the most ambitious results. This isn’t just true for our customers, it is also true for small businesses that are as nimble and agile as we are – battling vendor lock while incentivizing the adoption of interoperability among cloud environments is critical to our success as solution providers. A true multi-cloud environment that is the result of the intentional integration of services from multiple cloud service providers (CSPs) will improve innovation, provide important resiliency, enhance security, and give users the choice to make the decision that is best for them.

Our mission encompasses three key pillars: (1) Battling Vendor Lock, where we break free from single cloud providers and enhance interoperability, compatibility, and portability; (2) Incentivized Multi-Cloud, promoting diversification and seeking regular updates on multi-cloud initiatives; and (3) FedRAMP Modernization, focusing on harmonizing cybersecurity and risk management compliance while prioritizing modern cybersecurity strategies. We believe this mission will promote the types of decisions that are best for the government, the constituents who depend on public services, and the contractor community that proudly supports both groups.

Join us in shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and secure government IT landscape.
