Benchmark the app on what the users require.
if they require response time, benchmark that
if they require throughput, benchmark that
if they (company in this case) requires high numbers of concurrent
users... benchmark that
if there is a combo, you need to benchmark individually and combos i.e.
how does number of users affect throughput or response time.
Then push the envelope to see when the database/OS/app breaks, this will help determine scalarability.
The best way to display the results is graphically if you can, use some basic stats (regression) for colrelation between response time, throughput and concurrent users.
Have Fun
