As a Pterodactyl, you’re working way too hard.
All that flying around, looking for a few little fish, can wear a dino out.
Imagine being a Pterodactyl way back when, flying through the skies, trying to see if there’s any fish in that murky lake far below.
That’s a whole lot of work, and it’s part of the reason they were not particularly successful as a species.
Managing your client hardware purchasing in-house is a lot like being a Pterodactyl. Sure, you make a little more on the front end, but have you really looked at what it costs you? When I finally saw these kinds of numbers in my business, I knew I had to find a better way.
