Scalable software solutions for government are software systems that are designed to expand or be added to as the size and needs of the government agency grow and change. This software capability is valuable to government organizations because they tend to view software systems as long-term investments and don’t want to have to rip and replace a system when their community or organization size or needs change significantly. Moreover, these government customers place considerable value on the quality of the user experience as the software scales; if the system becomes harder to use, requires duplicate data entry or passwords, or costs significantly more, the customer user won’t recognize much value in the “scalability.”

Some features of scalable government software solutions:

• Software systems sold under an enterprise software license so customers don’t have to add or reduce licenses as their staff size changes
• Systems that are built modularly, allowing customers to purchase additional modules for their platform as their needs change and grow
• Modules and enhancements that are integrated at the native code level so the user experience moving from module to module within the platform is seamless
• Systems with pricing that is fairly scaled with growth and don’t come with balloons or surprises that are hard to budget for and justify in a public sector environment

MaintStar sells all its software suites, modules, and extensions as enterprise licenses and builds all its systems to integrate at a native code level, creating a seamless user experience that can grow as the customer organization does.
