While the solution scales and can grow, it's just the pricing for the capacity that grows with it. Organizations need to be aware that the costs will go up as they expand the solution out. The bigger you go, the more you pay.
Currently, we have about 200 users on the solution right now. They just handle setup and management.
The solution is always growing and we're always expanding it.
