Posted by:

Last week marked three years for me at Pepperdata and it’s amazing the progress we’ve made as a company in the last few years. We’ve been fortunate to see more than 100% growth year-over-year and I thought in this post I would reflect on some of the reasons why customers work with Pepperdata.
