Chart: System Growth vs. Gross Billings

1987-1990

Building critical mass; few computers, few users; manual methods prevail. Gross billings proportional to number of employees. Steady, carefully managed growth of system quadruples its starting size, laying groundwork for the future. Billings rise faster than growth in employees, indicating greater profitability: The computer system is already paying off.

1991

Sharp reduction in employees...yet gross billings remain steady. Greater profitability. Effective change management: Users begin to embrace system, and use it more skillfully and creatively.

1992-1994

Company fails to fund system enlargement, but that doesn't stop the employees! Number of users continues to increase despite frequent competition for computers. Productivity continues to increase.

1995

Success of system sharply increases user demand. Company institutionalizes system funding to acquire enough computers. Commitment to put a computer on every desk. Number of employees, users and computers reaches parity. Critical mass is achieved. Productivity poised for rapid growth.

1996-1998

Now with enough computers and other facilities, several sophisticated, award-winning custom applications, and ongoing vision and direction, there is a dramatic "knee" in the curve. Gross billings rise faster than number of employees, achieving record levels, and continually improving productivity.
