Small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the Singaporean economy through their active involvement in global supply chains, as well as their contribution towards market innovation, job creation and ultimately enhancing our gross domestic product (GDP). At PwC Singapore, we help SMEs align their digital transformation strategy with their business objectives. From upskilling the workforce to empower them with the right capabilities, to implementing sustainability reporting and expanding into new markets, we leverage our long built expertise and network to help SMEs transform and thrive in the age of disruption.
A study by the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises and Microsoft found that while 83% of SMEs in Singapore have digital transformation strategies in place, only 2 in 5 SMEs perceived their efforts to be successful. As such there is a gap in operationalising strategies to achieve desired outcomes for SMEs. We help you close this gap by identifying your core capabilities and strengthening them through the development of your leadership, strategy, and digital capabilities. We are committed to drive your success and growth by equipping you with the necessary certifications and standards, such as Outsourced Service Provider Audit Report (OSPAR) and SOC2, enabling you to further develop your core capabilities to better serve your customers and sharpen your competitive edge.

However, cost of adoption remains the key challenge in pursuing transformation. Thus, with a deep understanding of your unique business model and needs, we collaborate with you to develop cost-effective, innovative and fit-for-purpose digital solutions that allow you to boost enterprise productivity through process streamlining and automation. We will develop an effective digital transformation roadmap that will allow you to achieve your goals of productivity and gain a competitive edge in the market while maintaining cost efficiencies.
