Case Study: ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) achieves 80% faster reporting and real-time self-service with Hubble

The Missing Link Between Finance and It for ACCA

ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), the global body for professional accountants, faced severe reporting and data-access issues after its Oracle E‑Business Suite (11i) implementation. Finance struggled with limited drill‑down, read‑only data refreshed only every 24 hours, lengthy IT-led report requests (sometimes up to a month), and cumbersome manual workarounds that hampered month‑end and ad‑hoc reporting.

After a successful proof‑of‑concept, ACCA implemented Hubble in December 2014 and saw immediate benefits: 80% time savings on report creation, reconciliation reduced from half a day to about 30 minutes, and much lower dependence on IT as finance users gained self‑service access to real‑time data and three‑way drill‑down across Oracle financial modules. The fast deployment, increased flexibility and positive user feedback transformed finance reporting and freed IT resources.
