Comparison guide

PSG vs EDG: choose by project shape, not grant popularity.

PSG and EDG solve different problems. If you choose based only on funding support or vendor pitch, you can end up forcing the wrong project into the wrong route.

Fast rule: PSG tends to fit defined adoption of supported productivity solutions. EDG tends to fit broader capability, innovation, productivity redesign, or overseas growth projects.

Use PSG when the solution category is clear

PSG is usually a better conceptual fit when your company needs a known tool category: accounting, HR, CRM, POS, inventory, cybersecurity, ecommerce, or similar supported solutions. The main work is selection, setup, migration, training, and adoption.

Use EDG when the company must change how it operates

EDG is worth exploring when the project includes process redesign, custom workflows, deeper productivity improvement, innovation, capability building, or overseas market access. The project proposal needs a stronger business case.

Decision checklist

  • If you can buy a known tool and configure it, start by checking PSG and SMEs Go Digital.
  • If you need to redesign workflows before choosing tools, compare EDG.
  • If AI is involved, define the workflow, source data, human approval points, and measurable outcome first.
  • If you cannot explain ROI without mentioning the grant, pause the project.
