Case Study: AICPA (American Institute of CPAs) achieves data-driven efficiency in HR, finance and procurement with Cognizant and Oracle Cloud

AICPA Migrates Back-Office Operations to the Oracle Cloud

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a 130‑year‑old organization representing the CPA profession, struggled with outdated, siloed legacy systems across HR, finance, FP&A and procurement. Manual, spreadsheet‑based processes slowed recruiting and onboarding, made budgeting and reporting laborious, and limited timely access to analytics for decision‑making.

AICPA chose Oracle’s unified HCM, ERP and EPM Cloud suite and engaged Cognizant to implement it via Accelerate workshops and a three‑phase rollout, including migration from Oracle EBS to Oracle ERP Cloud. The implementation automated HR and financial processes, brought payroll in‑house, integrated recruiting/onboarding data, reduced total cost of ownership, met milestones with minimal disruption and enabled a more strategic, data‑driven approach.
