In 2016, SOLAS implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its ERP Financial platform, deploying SAP ECC6 alongside SRM to centralize finance and procurement functions. The implementation positioned SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and SRM to support core business finance and supplier management processes across the organization.
Configuration work prioritized core finance capabilities typical of an ERP Financial deployment, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable and financial reporting, with SRM handling procurement lifecycle and supplier interactions. The program included project support to design and execute an archiving process and deletion of data as part of ongoing application lifecycle management.
Contracted services explicitly covered on-going application and technical support for SAP ECC6 and SRM, annual health checks to ensure system optimization, and specialist assistance to assess the best migration path to a HANA database. The scope also provided preparatory work for a potential move to a hosted service, aligning application readiness with infrastructure options.
SOLAS proposed to move end to end management of the infrastructure noted in the contract to a third party, the same provider to supply support for SAP and SRM, creating an operational model that separates infrastructure ownership from application support. Governance centered on scheduled health checks, project oversight for archiving and deletion activities, and phased preparatory tasks to enable a future HANA migration or transition to hosted infrastructure.

In 2019, SOLAS (Ireland) implemented MultiTime VisionTime, adopting an electronic classroom attendance solution in the Time and Attendance category. The Authority introduced electronic time keeping for trainees on government training courses, deploying the application to support instructors who manage course rosters and attendance tracking for classroom-based programmes. The deployment covered intake and attendance capture for approximately 4,500 trainees per quarter across SOLAS-managed programmes.
The MultiTime VisionTime implementation emphasized classroom attendance capture and electronic time keeping capabilities, with configuration focused on enrollment-based session tracking, instructor verification of attendance, and centralized attendance records for each course. Functional modules implemented included attendance capture, schedule and roster management, session sign-in and sign-out recording, and period reporting to support training administration and compliance workflows. MultiTime VisionTime was configured to maintain a single, auditable attendance ledger for instructor-managed courses.
Operational scope was extended to include external courses delivered by training companies, consolidating attendance across internal and outsourced programmes under the same Time and Attendance system. The rollout shifted manual sign-in processes to an electronic attendance workflow, impacting training administration and course delivery functions and centralizing attendance data for programme managers and instructors.
