Digitalisation Solutions

Invest Northern Ireland's Digitalisation Solutions service, delivered by its E-business team, provides advice and support to export-focused businesses looking to implement Management Information Systems (MIS) such as customer portals, e-commerce platforms, finance systems, CRM and ERP/MRP systems, digital automation, and other software to help make smarter use of data across the business. E-business advisors give tailored advice on a wide range of ICT, e-commerce and MIS options to help a business grow, citing benefits such as digital transformation of key operations, improved information flow with supply chains and customers, and greater visibility of information to support decision-making. Where applicable, financial support may be offered for one-off software costs, associated setup, configuration and user training; before offering support, an Invest NI advisor conducts an appraisal of the proposed project to confirm it represents a significant step forward in ICT sophistication and digital transformation. The page also signposts online guides via nibusinessinfo.co.uk covering topics such as selecting an IT provider, business software, selling online and online marketing.

Financial assistance is only available to Invest Northern Ireland clients, and the proposed project must demonstrate meaningful impact on business processes through ICT transformation; general advice may be available more broadly.
