About Cardinal
The Cardinal Project is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s statewide initiative to implement and leverage Oracle’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) management system.
Named in honor of the state bird, the Cardinal system serves as a conduit to better connect the Commonwealth of Virginia. With a bold look and feel, better access to essential business functions, and improved single sign-on technology, Cardinal is the system of record for accounting, human resource, payroll, benefits, and time management in the Commonwealth.
The Cardinal system is comprised of three applications: Human Capital Management (HCM), Financials (FIN), and Business Intelligence (BI).
