GrantIS

A highly automated end-to-end digital grant management platform. It reduces the administrative burden on scheme managers, making it easy to design and activate bespoke grants, offering a well-designed, intuitive citizen journey. Automated processes mean less opportunity for human error, greater transparency, and faster turnaround, ensuring more compliant applications. Improved reporting of outcomes helps funders optimize processes and understand how schemes perform, reducing the risk and cost of fraud. Local and central government scheme funders are looking to efficiently disburse grants to the right people while improving citizen experience.

The UK's Department for International Trade (DIT) has signed a three-year, £2.6 million contract with Capita to use its GrantIS digital platform to distribute grants to businesses.

Capita announced that the DIT would be the first client to use the platform to distribute grants to around 7,600 SMEs to find help in new markets overseas.

KPN – Order Cloud

A portfolio of standard and volume products, all part of KPN EEN and the seven value propositions, for business market customers with multiple users: SMEs, large enterprise-level, and corporate companies.

Small business customers (ZZP/SOHO) are allowed to purchase the above portfolio from the B2B ecosystem, even though they are not yet in the scope of the B2B ecosystem in terms of portfolio and service. These customers will be targeted with a business proposition, KPN Kleinzakelijk, from the mass market ecosystem.
