Sansan Global was recently awarded the Excellence in Cloud Award in the Startup category at the Singapore Business Review (SBR) Technology Excellence Awards 2020. The recognition suggests the world is learning the value and ingenuity of the Sansan system in our changing times.
The SBR Awards recognize outstanding companies that have made exceptional contributions in pursuit of technological innovation. They’re presented to top-tier firms with the most innovative and unique solutions.

Among cloud-based SaaS contact tools, Sansan stands apart from other CRM/CMS solutions in its ability to use both physical and virtual business cards. They become rich building blocks for companies to visualize their business networks. This is enabled through 99.9% accurate scanning of first-party data. Sales teams can uncover business opportunities from within, drive collaboration toward meaningful sales conversations, and boost sales and productivity.
The process of seeking internal referrals with Sansan is a key driver.
“It’s important for companies to first look inwards as they build their business, even more so in this new digital economy where physical business practices are increasingly being moved online,” says Edward Senju, Regional CEO of Sansan Global.
Targeting organization-wide contact management, Sansan enables businesses to construct a complete virtual contact database that can be accessed anywhere, at any time. Most recently, Sansan also released its Virtual Cards function, which enables easy exchange of digital business cards to support remote work styles.
Sansan’s extensive integration support also enables contact information sharing to third-party solutions such as CRMs and email management services like Microsoft Outlook.
As the world navigates the COVID-19 pandemic, Sansan is building on its framework to help businesses leverage their existing contacts as prospects to generate new deals. These efforts support Singapore’s Smart Nation master plan, which encourages organizations to optimize their operations through technology and digital transformation.
As businesses race to go digital, the need for them to drive collaboration and productivity is growing exponentially. Sansan is working closely with customers to fill these gaps. Sansan frees up time for staff to focus on higher-value tasks by streamlining work processes, closing collaboration gaps, and empowering professionals to be more dynamic, even while working remotely.

“Winning this award is an absolute honor for us,” Edward adds. “It gives our team members in the region added motivation. We deeply value the confidence that our Singapore customers have shown in us and thank the Singapore Business Review for the recognition of our efforts and success. The award further strengthens our commitment to turning encounters into innovation for more companies in the region.”
