  2. Low Scalability: Not able to scale to meet the needs of the organization, e.g. on-premise solutions

What is the purpose of the Solution Scalability Matrix?

The Solution Scalability Matrix is a 2x2 matrix used to evaluate the scalability of a solution. It helps organizations decide whether a solution is suitable for their needs and if they should invest in it. The matrix is divided into four quadrants: High Scalability, Low Scalability, High Risk, and Low Risk. Each quadrant represents a different level of scalability and risk associated with the solution.

In the High Scalability quadrant, the solution is able to scale to meet the needs of the organization. This means that the solution is able to handle an increase in demand or usage without significant disruption. Solutions in this quadrant are usually the most suitable for organizations as they can easily scale up or down as needed.

In the Low Scalability quadrant, the solution is not able to scale to meet the needs of the organization. This means that the solution is not able to handle an increase in demand or usage without significant disruption. Solutions in this quadrant are usually not suitable for organizations as they cannot easily scale up or down as needed.

In the High Risk quadrant, the solution is associated with high risk. This means that the solution may not be able to meet the needs of the organization or may be too expensive to invest in. Solutions in this quadrant are usually not suitable for organizations as they may not be able to handle the risk associated with the solution.

In the Low Risk quadrant, the solution is associated with low risk. This means that the solution is likely to meet the needs of the organization and is not too expensive to invest in. Solutions in this quadrant are usually the most suitable for organizations as they can easily handle the risk associated with the solution.
