SCALING NEEDS PEOPLE

I’m very pleased to add Australia’s largest software supplier to my client list.

I’m using my decades of know how to help the NSW Government with its award winning digital transformation.

They provide more SaaS platforms than any other organisation in Australia.

Healthcare, housing, transport, policing and recreation to name but a few.

And those are just the external ones.

They have many more hidden from public view.

Not too long from now, tens of thousands of years 12 students will anxiously await their HSC results.

An annual event that waits for no man or woman.

It’s software as a service and it must be RIGHT NOW.

The rest of the year, it’s ghostly quiet.

A platform that’s hardly used, but come December demand will spike.

Still, these are the problems of business and software ownership.

One day quiet, next day slammed,

Good to know these guys and girls are on it.

But like so much in the SaaS world, it’s the scale that brings challenges

So the question is, are you ready?

Could you cope with a sudden influx of customers?

Could you onboard them effectively?

Provide training and boots on the ground if need be?

Scaling a SaaS solution demands more than just additional computing power

As ever, if you’re looking at the technology, you’re missing the point
