In 2015, Thames & Hudson decided to deploy Sage Business Cloud X3 (ex Sage ERP X3) as its ERP Financial platform alongside QlikView BI, formalizing a move to third party vendor solutions in June 2015. Thames & Hudson, a United Kingdom based publisher with roughly 220 employees, positioned Sage Business Cloud X3 to centralize core financial operations and reporting under the ERP Financial category.
The implementation focused on standard ERP Financial functional capabilities typical of Sage Business Cloud X3, including core financials and general ledger, accounts payable and accounts receivable workflows, statutory and management reporting, and period close automation. Configuration work emphasized chart of accounts design, financial control configuration, and alignment of accounting periods to support consolidated financial processes across the organization.
Operational integration included a direct analytics link to QlikView BI, with financial ledgers and subledger output provisioned to QlikView BI for dashboarding and ad hoc financial analysis. The integration model prioritized feeding transactional and summarized financial data into the BI layer to support reporting and executive finance use cases, while retaining Sage Business Cloud X3 as the system of record for financial transactions.
Governance and rollout were organized around finance and IT stakeholders, with a structured program for configuration, data conversion, testing, and user acceptance in 2015. The program emphasized centralizing transactional finance workflows, establishing accounting controls in the ERP Financial system, and handover to internal finance governance for ongoing configuration and reporting ownership.
