Voucher Program for Digital Transformation of Ukrainian Companies

With the support of the international cooperation programs DT4SME and STEP IN 2 EU, the IT Ukraine Association is launching a new project aimed at facilitating the transition of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) from hostile software solutions such as 1C and BAS to secure ERP systems.

 

The project “Vouchers for Digital Transformation of MSMEs” addresses the needs of micro and small businesses in the wood processing and furniture manufacturing, food processing, light industry, IT technologies, and electrical equipment sectors. These sectors are particularly sensitive to the cost of digital solution implementation and require targeted support to transition to new software.

 

Within the framework of the pilot project, implemented with the support of the German federal company Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the Association will:

• develop and launch a support mechanism for small businesses, including an open call to select up to 30 MSMEs to participate in the project;
• conduct an assessment of participants’ needs for the implementation of an accounting module within an ERP system or as a standalone solution;
• ensure transparent procurement of licensed IT solutions, their implementation, and training of company teams.

 

The Voucher Program for the Digital Transformation of MSMEs will encourage the adoption of high-quality alternatives to hostile software and support the transition of micro, small and medium-sized businesses to secure ERP solutions. This is an experience that can be scaled up in the future

ERP system providers will be selected through a competitive tender from among companies listed on the Digital Solutions Marketplace for Business. Detailed participation conditions and implementation stages will be announced shortly on the Association’s official communication channels.

 

The initiative is implemented within the international cooperation programmes “DT4SME” and “STEP IN 2 EU”, co-financed by the governments of Germany and Norway, as well as the European Union under the EU4Business initiative, and carried out by the German federal company Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The IT Ukraine Association is the implementing partner of the initiative.
