Scalability

Scalability is a notion that software products must be able to grow as your company grows. You can learn more here but this is something that Life Science companies are forced to think about. This is especially critical for emerging companies. You want something that works for your needs today but will "scale" as your company continues to reach milestones. Scalability can relate to many areas including features and functionality, price, storage, and number of users. Sometimes this can become overly complex but you want scalability and you want it to be easy. You want to know going in that your system is technically scalable. You should also know going in what this scale up is going to cost you. In addition, you should be aware of the time and complexity of taking your software to the next level.
This is where OnDemand solutions can really shine. Smoothly scaling without having to worry about the cost or IT burden. The last thing you want to do as you become more successful is worry about how your infrastructure can support this success. It should just happen.
