The following statistics describe how SMBs experience the cloud today. Read each statement and select the answer most similar to your response to determine which 90s TV character best represents your technology persona (and learn why so many companies your size are embracing the cloud):

By 2020, 78% of small businesses will have fully adopted cloud computing.¹

1. Code red; the cloud’s perfect for small business, why isn’t it 100% adoption?
2. Cloud solutions never work right for SMBs. They need custom-built solutions.
3. I’ve started a movement to bring back the abacus.

As a result of moving to the cloud, 94% of small businesses report security benefits.²

1. Not surprising. Cloud security is becoming the gold standard.
2. I bet the security enhancements were added in addition to the cloud.
3. They only THINK they’re safe because they can’t see all the way up to the cloud.

Over 80% of companies reduced costs as a result of utilizing cloud technology.³

1. Makes sense, the cloud helps stop the hemorrhaging caused by outdated equipment.
2. If they really wanted to maximize their ROI, they would have built it themselves.
3. There are cloud giants that eat data, and you don’t have to pay for what they eat.
