Interestingly, Accenture (then Anderson, DeLany & Co.) apparently built the first computerized payroll system in the US, back in 1953:

- menloparkbum 17y agoActually, they do profess to be experts at building accounting systems. Accenture was spun out of an accounting firm and as you mention they've been building accounting systems since 1953. Building payroll and other accounting systems is one of the main things they do.
