| FIS Global | Legacy | FIS GETPAID | AR Automation | ERP | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016 Sky deployed FIS GETPAID to address accounts receivable workflows and strengthen AR Automation across its credit management and collections teams. The implementation positioned FIS GETPAID as the system of record for dispute and customer management activities, making it the first point of contact for customer queries while centralizing cash collection, allocation, and processing tasks.
Configuration work emphasized dispute process management, dunning and aged debt management, refund process management, and B2B customer management workflows.

Operational coverage included credit management, collections, and customer service teams, and the solution supported liaison activity with an external network of business partners for dispute resolution and collection escalation.
Governance focused on process ownership for dispute resolution and reporting, with teams accountable for creating, updating, and filing associated reports and for resolving issues in the collections process. The implementation embedded functional controls for refund approvals and dispute escalation, and formalized the role of collections as the primary interface for B2B customer queries and credit decision workflows.
