iSPRINT Funding For Packaged Solutions
As part of the move to simplify the grant application process, IDA introduced the concept of pre-qualified infocomm packages supportable under iSPRINT. These bite-sized, ready-to-use solutions enable SMEs to start deploying IT into their operations quickly and easily.
The iSPRINT (Packaged Solutions) contains a list of solutions, both Off-The-Shelf and Pay-Per-Use that meet IDA's prequalification requirements. For the latest list of Basic/Intermediate/SaaS Packaged Solutions, click on the icon below
Important Note:
- With effect from 1 April 2015, iSPRINT will no longer support Accounting software solutions. SMEs that meet the criteria can apply for other schemes such as IRAS’ Productivity and Innovation Credit (“PIC”).For details on PIC, kindly visit http://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/PIcredit.aspx.
- The ICT Solution Providers are committed to provide post-implementation support, in the form of email and / or phone support, from 9am to 6pm on Mondays to Fridays, except Public Holidays (for at least 3 months after date of implementation), for all packaged solutions under the list. For more information, please contact the respective ICT Solution Providers.
- Grant will be moderated based on:
- Whether SMEs have any existing software/ system that performs a similar set of functions as the Packaged Solution that SME purchased;
- Size of SME's operations, impact and complexity of project; and
- Benchmark against average cost for similar software/ system
