Sprout Solutions, The Philippines’ most trusted HR tech company and largest homegrown B2B SaaS vendor, received the Enabler award from tech giant Alibaba Cloud during its first-ever AsiaStar 10×10 campaign and awards.
The recognition was given to Sprout at the Apsara Startup Conference also organized by Alibaba Cloud on November 4, 2022, at the Singapore Management University (SMU), and was based on the number and quality of clients serviced by Sprout over the past year, as well as the company’s financial performance and growth trajectory in the region’s SaaS segment.
From over a hundred nominees, a total of 10 awards were given out to 10 high-performing organizations in the South East Asia technology sector.
