Case Study: Enterprise Ireland achieves streamlined, digitized grants management with SmartSimple Cloud

How Enterprise Ireland was able to optimize resources by integrating multiple systems in the cloud

Enterprise Ireland, the government organization that grows and develops Irish companies, faced a cumbersome, paper-based grants process for its Commercialisation Fund Programme that consumed excessive administrative hours and lacked a clear audit trail while researchers increasingly worked online. After recommendations from other agencies and evaluating vendors, Enterprise Ireland selected SmartSimple Cloud (SmartSimple Cloud for Government Funding) to digitize and modernize their grants workflow.

SmartSimple Cloud implemented a fully digitized, configurable grants management platform that centralized applications, tracking and reporting. The new system eliminated the need to print reams of paper, reduced administrative effort, improved the audit trail, and made it easy for applicants and reviewers to complete and evaluate submissions; feedback from users has been highly favorable and staff can now see application status and review progress in one place.
