Scalability has several dimensions. What are they? What do they mean for ERP installation?


Most organizations want to grow. When a new system of any type is installed, it should be expected to be able to handle a reasonable amount of growth. ERP systems are no different. Several dimensions of scalability can be considered. If size of the database doubles, access time may double. If system speed is increased, response time should decrease proportionately. If workload is increased, response time can be maintained by increasing hardware capacity accordingly. Transaction costs should not increase as capacity is increased.
