| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle NetSuite ERP | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2005 | 2005 |
In 2005 OPAL implemented Oracle NetSuite ERP as its ERP Financial system to centralize finance and accounting for the ten person media company based in the United Kingdom. Oracle NetSuite ERP was deployed to act as the primary system of record for general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, billing and financial reporting functions, aligning the company Application Category and business function as OPAL Oracle NetSuite ERP ERP Financial finance and accounting operations.
Configuration work emphasized a standardized chart of accounts, period close workflows, automated invoicing and revenue accounting capabilities consistent with ERP Financial category functionality. Implementation governance focused on role based access controls, approval workflows for payables and receivables, and assignment of system ownership within the small finance team to standardize processes and automate recurring financial tasks.

| Freeagent | Legacy | FreeAgent Time Tracking | Time and Attendance | HCM | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, OPAL began using FreeAgent after winning a one year subscription, and the company uses FreeAgent to manage accounting, invoicing and bank feeds in the United Kingdom. OPAL implemented FreeAgent Time Tracking in the Time and Attendance category to align time capture with its billable services and project invoicing workflows, while the source emphasizes accounting and invoicing as core uses.
Configuration and operational usage centered on FreeAgent projects, invoicing and bank feed reconciliation, with time capture inferred to operate as timeslips allocated to projects and mapped into invoices. FreeAgent Time Tracking is described here as the application layer for Time and Attendance needs, and typical category-aligned capabilities include timeslip entry, project allocation and time-to-invoice mapping to support finance and project billing in small service businesses.
Operational scope remained at small business scale, covering OPAL’s United Kingdom finance and bookkeeping activities and impacting finance, invoicing and project billing functions. The customer story explicitly notes the 2016 subscription reduced bookkeeping overheads, and the narrative includes the caveat that use of the specific FreeAgent time-tracking module is inferred from OPAL’s projects and invoicing usage rather than explicitly named in the source.

In 2018, OPAL deployed Google Workspace (Formerly Google G-Suite) as its primary Collaboration platform across the organization. The deployment provided corporate email, calendar, cloud document collaboration, and centralized file storage for all employees of the United Kingdom based media firm.
