How Does ADS Differ from the PSG?

While ADS bears some similarities to the PSG, some distinguishing features set the two grants apart from each other. They are as follows:

Complexity

While the PSG supports basic and standalone digital solutions, ADS is geared towards advanced and integrated solutions. Examples of ADS-supported solutions include:

• AI-powered analytics to optimise logistics

• Combining CRM and ERP systems to develop unified customer views

Transformation Scope

ADS projects typically involve a deeper level of business process re-engineering, aimed at driving significant improvements across a whole function.

Funding Level

Due to the higher cost and complexity of the solutions in question, the funding support for ADS is generally higher than for PSG.
