Abstract: In this paper we aim to identify if the cloud computing was a key component for a challenger company developing an innovation that resulted in consequences for an incumbent one. To analyze that we use a multi-phase process of innovation perspective. The results demonstrate that cloud computing had a decisive role in allowing the challenger company to develop its innovation, which resulted in consequences for the incumbent one that now tries to imitate the innovation developed to maintain its competitiveness.
