October 6, 2026 — Cognizant has been selected by SITA, a global provider of air transport technology, as the implementation and transformation partner for its SKY program, a major initiative to modernize finance, procurement, and supply chain operations through cloud technology and artificial intelligence.
The transformation will introduce a modern cloud-based platform across SITA's operations in more than 200 countries and territories, with the goal of making finance more data-driven, agile, and focused on business growth.
AI at the Core of Finance
Cognizant will help SITA implement a cloud-based ERP and management platform covering areas such as financial planning, performance management, project management, procurement, and supply chain operations.
The platform will use a shared data foundation and AI-led insights to help SITA improve forecasting, identify opportunities earlier, and align resources with business priorities.
Cognizant will also bring generative AI implementation agents and agentic AI capabilities into finance operations. These tools are expected to support activities including planning, forecasting, project management, and everyday financial processes.
Powered by Oracle Fusion Cloud
A key part of the transformation will be the standardization of SITA's core processes on Oracle Fusion Cloud.
By connecting finance, procurement, and related business functions on a common platform, SITA aims to create more consistent processes and improve decision-making across its global operations.
Building a “Frontier Finance” Function
SITA describes the initiative as an effort to create a “Frontier Finance” function—one that goes beyond traditional reporting and transaction processing to become a more strategic partner for business growth.
For Cognizant, the project also demonstrates how AI and cloud ERP platforms can be combined to modernize enterprise operations.
The Bigger Picture
The partnership reflects a broader shift in enterprise technology as organizations move from traditional digital transformation toward AI-led business transformation.
For global companies, the focus is increasingly on embedding AI directly into everyday workflows rather than treating it as a separate technology layer.
With its SKY program, SITA is aiming to build a finance organization where cloud infrastructure, shared data, and AI work together to support faster decisions and long-term growth.
