Well this is what happens to "one pony show" companies.

I visited a computers / servers company yesterday, from speaking to the top guy he failed to adapt to the market and missed the issue of "the cloud" storage and computing.

Several years ago they had cutting edge products, but tried to sell through the established marketing channels - they lost their pants, not realising that they needed to team up with on of the biggest in cloud services and sell their slim pc as a interface or slave/extension tool to cloud computing, between the end user and the cloud company.

The company failed to realise that today a computer is a shovel, better or worse but a shovel, to dig out information or to build on information and storage.

Same way of thinking is now going on in the electrical utilities markets, they forget what their actual business is - supplying reliable electricity/energy to their customers no matter from what source. Many still think that their job is to generate electricity and making a favor supplying it at an uneconomic price.
Remember Enron? - Do whatever you can and hike the electricity prices

Keeping with the clouds, I post this video
