our goal
To build a solution that enables HKICPA members to equip themselves to embrace the future of ACCOUNTING PLUS.
the ask
The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) is the only body authorised by law to register and grant practising certificates to certified public accountants in Hong Kong. It regularly organises events spanning international networking opportunities, professional development seminars, and experience-sharing sessions for the benefit of its members.
In keeping with its core values––professionalism, integrity, expertise, quality, and thought leadership––as well as modern event industry standards in the digital era, we were tasked by HKICPA to create an enhanced member experience that could boost event attendance and participation, simplify the CPD tracking process, as well as improve interaction and engagement in general.
our solution focuspre-event →enrollment
“Recommend events and courses that are most relevant to the members to allow continuously learning and work-life balance.”
in-event →engagement
“Enable member to interact with speakers or other members easily to improve professional network and share experiences.”
post-event
→ enrichment
“Allow members to continuous building their professional network (i.e. mentorship programme) and revisit courses material to enrich their profession.”
the idea
To meet HKICPA’s needs, we created a comprehensive user-friendly mobile application that would redefine its member experience by providing customised career assistance. Besides developing the app’s functional aspects by placing its user requirements at the forefront, we also aspired to help HKICPA realise its bigger mission of ‘contributing to and influencing the future of the global profession’ by honing in on the futures of its members.
Powered by Microsoft Azure’s Machine Learning technology, the HKICPA app recommends the right events for professional development by keeping track of every individual member’s interests and preferences. Besides browsing with ease via event categorisations and filtering options, app users are also able to calculate their CPD hours, apply to renew their licences, and connect with others on the relevant social media channels with just a few clicks.
In terms of operations, raised productivity levels will be another by-product of our platform service transformation and AI solution. By relieving the HKICPA event management team of key administrative and organisational tasks, the HKICPA app will enable HKICPA employees to focus on more important matters, fulfil their roles seamlessly, and set new goals for success.
