“I would totally move to the cloud if they could
guarantee that my content was recoverable if       Concerns with the Cloud: Accessibility, Recovery
something were to happen to the cloud. What if     and Privacy
it goes down and I lose all my stuff?
Actionable Items
3 Steps Cloud Service Providers Should Take
Step 1: Provide Evidence
      • Provide each segment of the Technology Adoption Life Cycle evidence in support of cloud
        storage and convince consumers why they should move exclusively to the cloud
         – Meet segment demands
         – Use values from Competitive Position Compass to identify appealing forms of support



Step 2: Establish Competitive Position
      • Identify direct competitor in the market – Differentiate from them
         – This feeds directly to the Pragmatist appetite for market oriented thinking and competition



Step 3: Package a “Whole Product”
      • Consider demands for supplemental and complimentary products and services around
        consumer cloud storage  That is what the early majority users want
         – Identify complimentary products or services to further integrate consumer cloud storage into
           business and personal day to day activities
             • Ex. Google Drive  used to share documents across physical devices
