Smartsheet & PwC UK partner to drive enterprise transformation

Smartsheet has announced a strategic collaboration with PwC UK to support business transformation initiatives for enterprises in the United Kingdom, targeting the public sector and financial services markets.

The partnership will see PwC applying its industry expertise to help clients streamline complex transformation programmes using the Smartsheet work management platform. The collaboration is being launched with a pipeline of enterprise customers, including the UK's largest transportation infrastructure organisation.

Smartsheet, which offers an AI-powered, enterprise-grade work management solution, will combine its technology with PwC's professional services to address project, programme, and process management at scale for joint clients. The initial focus for the cooperation will be on organisations that are seeking to achieve greater agility and clarity in their business processes.

Eva Schoenleitner, Vice President, Worldwide Partnerships, Smartsheet, commented: "At Smartsheet, we empower enterprises to achieve more by transforming how work gets done. The collaboration with PwC marks a significant milestone in delivering on that promise. By leveraging Smartsheet's powerful capabilities, we enable PwC to help their clients build sophisticated project and portfolio management solutions that drive efficiency and clarity. Our collaboration will accelerate productivity and drive meaningful change for organisations navigating complex transformations."

The integration of Smartsheet's platform with PwC's advisory services is intended to help clients gain improved visibility, foster seamless collaboration, and streamline their critical project management processes across a range of industries. According to both companies, this will allow organisations to respond more effectively to business disruptions and rapidly shifting market conditions.

Michael Cooch, Partner, Global Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Lead for PwC, said: "Organisations today really are under tremendous pressure to respond to fast-moving disruption, demonstrate agility in the way they solve problems and bring intelligence, not pretty pictures, to decision-makers. In our latest CEO Survey, nearly half of business leaders said their companies won't be viable in a decade without fundamental transformation. Our work with Smartsheet brings a powerful and flexible set of tools directly into the hands of our clients, giving them the structure, visibility and decision-support that they're desperate for to drive real transformation. It's a great collaboration that can enable businesses to turn strategy into action—confidently and at scale."

The collaboration is aligned with both companies' stated commitment to supporting enterprises as they pursue global and large-scale transformation ambitions. PwC will leverage its team's expertise to guide clients through the integration and use of Smartsheet's secure and scalable platform, helping them meet performance objectives and strategic goals.

The partnership with the UK's largest transportation infrastructure organisation is among the first to showcase the combined offering. The companies anticipate expanded adoption across additional enterprise customers as the collaboration progresses.
