Posted on December 1, 2017 by Louise Howland
PwC has joined forces with ramsac, a leading IT support company, to improve its digital service offering to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The collaboration is being announced at the Vistage Executive Summit London, taking place on the 1st December 2017, where PwC and ramsac will be exhibiting to over 500 business leaders. There were 5.4 million SMEs in the UK in 2016, making up over 99% of all businesses[1]. Encouraging the survival of SMEs throughout the fourth industrial revolution is crucial to the future success of UK business and the economy. As technology changes rapidly, it can be difficult for small businesses to keep up to speed with the latest developments. PwC and ramsac’s alliance aims to help SMEs stay ahead in digital era by providing them with best in class tools. The venture combines ramsac’s first hand experience of being a small business with PwC’s global network and expertise. Nigel Howlett, UK Digital Private Business leader at PwC, commented: “All businesses need to be switched on to potential disruption regardless of their size. By working together with ramsac, we’re able to help more small companies tackle the challenges and embrace the opportunities new technologies create. From a digital fitness assessment to outsourced accounting, financial or legal advice, we’ve got a whole host of digital solutions for SMEs.” Robert May, Managing Director at ramsac, said: “ramsac has established a track record of helping SMEs to better manage, plan and support their technology to achieve growth, security and resilience. Our managed service solutions dovetail perfectly into the outsourced services provided by PwC and this is an exciting opportunity for both organisations as we combine our respective areas of expertise into a very focused, proactive service model for aspirational businesses.” [1] [i] Briefing paper: business statistics, 23 November 2016
