| SAP | Legacy | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2019 | 2020 |
In 2019 SIG plc implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial platform, positioning SAP S/4 HANA as the central system for corporate finance, consolidation, and planning. The engagement was led by a single lead architect for a global S/4 HANA implementation that included SAP BPC Optimized and SAP Analytics Cloud SAC as integrated planning and analytics components. This implementation frames SIG plc SAP S/4 HANA ERP Financial finance relationship with a focus on unified financial data and reporting.
The SAP S/4 HANA deployment concentrated on core financial capabilities common to the ERP Financial category, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset accounting, and controlling, while embedding planning and consolidation workflows into SAP BPC Optimized. SAP BPC Optimized served as the planning and consolidation engine, supporting statutory close and group planning use cases, and SAP Analytics Cloud SAC provided centralized reporting, dashboarding, and analytic consumption of S/4 HANA financial data. Configuration work emphasized chart of accounts alignment, journal and document flow standardization, and financial master data modeling to support consolidated reporting.
Operational scope targeted the global finance organization with explicit coverage of consolidation, FP&A, treasury interfaces, and statutory reporting responsibilities. Integrations implemented included direct connectivity between SAP S/4 HANA and SAP BPC Optimized for planning and consolidation processes, and connectivity to SAP Analytics Cloud SAC for operational and management reporting. Governance was organized under the lead architect function to standardize finance process models and data governance rules across sites, enabling consistent journal processing and consolidated financial close workflows.

| 360Learning | Legacy | 360Learning Platform | Learning and Development | HCM | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, SIG plc deployed the 360Learning Platform for Learning and Development. The implementation at SIG plc, a UK manufacturing group with approximately 7,000 employees, focused on centralizing employee learning and standardizing mandatory and role based training across operational functions.
The 360Learning Platform was configured to emphasize collaborative course authoring, structured learning paths, enrollment workflows, compliance cataloging, and built in reporting and analytics to support competency tracking and certification management. The deployment leveraged social learning and peer feedback features to capture shop floor and field knowledge, and applied course versioning and a centralized curriculum model for recurring safety and role specific training.
Governance and operating model changes aligned ownership to HR and corporate L&D, instituting content governance, reviewer approval workflows, scheduled curriculum refresh cycles, and role based administrative hierarchies for site and function level coordinators. Operational practice shifted from ad hoc training coordination toward a centralized learning operations model using the 360Learning Platform as the primary learning delivery and course management environment.

| Qlik | Legacy | QlikView | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, SIG plc deployed QlikView as its enterprise Analytics and BI platform. The implementation targeted cross-functional reporting across manufacturing operations, finance and commercial teams and leveraged the existing technology stack including Kerridge K8, MS SQL Server, Exchange, ViaDuct, Visual Studio 2012, MS Office 2003/2007/2010 and Adobe Acrobat DC.
The project focused on QlikView document development, consolidated data modeling and centralized QlikView Server hosting to deliver interactive dashboards, ad hoc analysis and scheduled report distribution. Development and extension work used Visual Studio 2012 for custom ETL and scripting, while ViaDuct was used to orchestrate data flows and reload processes.
Integrations were implemented as direct extracts from Kerridge K8 into MS SQL Server staging databases, with QlikView consuming staged data via native connectors and ODBC data sources. Exchange was used for automated distribution of QlikView reports, and MS Office integration enabled exportable analysis and operational reporting for downstream users.
Governance established a central BI team to manage document lifecycle, data model versioning and user access, with security enforced through QlikView user roles and SQL Server authentication. Rollout followed a phased publication model and scheduled reload governance across SIG plc operations in the United Kingdom.
