“We needed a technology standard and a partner that could help us intelligently manage the growth we expected and have since experienced.”
“We’re spending far less time on
hardware management—the
equivalent of nearly two full-time
employees,” says Dawson. “That’s
allowing us to focus 90 percent of
our team’s efforts on creating new
tools and adding value.”
