Growth Project Analysis: BallotOnline

Ballot online company has experienced tremendous growth in the number of its users for the last five years. The percentage increase in the number of uses over the last five years is as follows;

Table 1: percentage growth of Ballot online users in the last 4 years 

Year

Percentage growth of users

2013/2014

67%

2014/2015

160%

2015/2016

15%

2016/2017

100%

Therefore, the average growth rate in the number of consumers for the last four years is 85.5%.

By incorporating a 10% (as recommended by Sophia) growth in the number of users, the projected total number of users in the 2018/2019 financial year will be 1650000 users. Therefore, this number will have a direct effect on the resources used to support the users such as the network switches and the storage facilities.

Servers (standalone physical and virtual)

This organization needs to increase its servers to support the projected increase in the number of users in the future. In the last four years, the company has had a 100% average increase in the number of servers. Therefore, a 10% growth projection means that the organization will have to increase its servers to 1210 from the current capacity to support the activities of the company.

Network switches

There has been an undergrowth in the number of network switches in Ballot Online Company. In the last four years, there has been a 68% average increment in the number of network switches. This is relatively low as compared to the other resources in the company. By projection (10% increase), the company is likely to have 33 network stitches. However, they may not be enough to support the projected large number of users at the company.

Data Storage

The average number of data storage has been increased by 95% in the last four years. Therefore, a 10% growth means that the organization will have total storage of 2.75BP in the next financial year. However, this storage facility may not be enough to support all the activities of the customers due to a large number of users that are projected to join Ballot Online Company.
