that you don’t need a dedicated person to maintain it. Between the
infrastructure cost and a fulltime salary, our savings are definitely in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kenny Van Zant, Business Lead, Asana

costs really low. Our overhead structure is one-half to one-third that of
our competitors’, in part because of Dropbox. Richard Wetzel, Partner,
