<p>LONDON--(Marketwire - Feb 14, 2013) - Grant Thornton UK LLP, the leading business and financial adviser, is using the cloud to support delivery of the 200 million GrowthAccelerator service, set up to help Britain's brightest businesses achieve their growth potential. Using Huddle, Grant Thornton will be able to share and work on valuable content with partner organisations nationwide, to support thousands of ambitious SMEs across England.</p><p>Spearheaded by Grant Thornton and part funded by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, the GrowthAccelerator service is a partnership between the government and private sector to help companies with the potential for rapid and sustainable growth. In total, 200 million has been invested into the programme to help tens of thousands of businesses realise their potential, achieve rapid and sustainable growth and subsequently boost the UK economy.</p><p>Working with a geographically dispersed team and a number of delivery partners, Grant Thornton needed a platform that would enable its team to deliver consistent communications across the programme. Using Huddle, Grant Thornton created a central, secure online environment that enabled each of the partners involved in the project to access the content they required. With an authoritative source of documents and a clear audit trail of approvals, everyone involved in the service can now be sure that they are accessing the right version of a document at all times. There are now 250 people using Huddle across the partner organisations including Winning Pitch, Oxford Innovation and Pera. In the future, Grant Thornton plans to roll out Huddle to thousands of clients nationwide.</p><p>"Huddle has enabled us to simplify a project that could have potentially been very complicated," said Simon Littlewood, Head of Business Growth Services, Grant Thornton. "Working with such a large team, it was essential that we had one shared platform to provide a single reference point for everyone. We needed to make sure communications were consistent across the whole service. Following the success of this project, we want to increase our use of Huddle, bringing collaboration to the forefront and reducing inbox overload."</p><p><a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/grant-thornton-selects-huddle-support-national-collaboration-on-gbp-200-million-growthaccelerator-1756686.htm">Keep reading...</a></p>
