ERPA to serve a resource-challenged market with a new Workday deployment methodology

DUBLIN, Ohio, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ERPA, a leading provider of enterprise technology solutions, today announced the launch of OPTIMA by ERPA, a Workday deployment methodology designed specifically for Higher Education institutions, State & Local Government and Special District agencies with fewer than 500 full-time employees.

OPTIMA by ERPA leverages AI in a revolutionary and innovative way, allowing customers to deploy Workday to maximize efficiency and accuracy. This approach effectively streamlines tedious and time-consuming tasks that typically increase risks. By utilizing the same toolset and deployment teams, OPTIMA by ERPA enhances user adoption and knowledge transfer, leading to a greater return on investment through an ongoing Deployment as a Service (DaaS) offering.

ERPA addresses the unique challenges of smaller organizations by providing a prescriptive, streamlined deployment path that offers efficiency, reduced costs, and industry-tailored post-go-live support. This DaaS methodology enables clients to achieve a faster time-to-value while minimizing risk.

Key benefits of OPTIMA by ERPA include:

• Fixed, reduced deployment costs with shortened timelines.
  
  
• Industry-proven accelerators purpose-built for public sector organizations.
  
  
• Limited risk through prescriptive methodologies.
  
  
• AI-native tools to enhance operational efficiency.
  
  
• Named resources that provide continuity and accountability.
  
  
• Post-go-live support that ensures long-term success.

"OPTIMA by ERPA makes it possible for Higher Education institutions and Government organizations to more easily harness the full power of Workday," said Houman Immen, Chief Revenue Officer at ERPA. "Our prescriptive approach, enhanced by AI-enabled deployments, not only reduces costs and risks but also increases the overall speed and accuracy of the fixed cost deployment process. This guarantees that our clients have the support they need well beyond go-live. With OPTIMA by ERPA, we're ensuring that these organizations can modernize with confidence and achieve sustainable success."

"At Workday, we are committed to ensuring every organization—regardless of size—can unlock the full potential of our platform," said Robert Steele, Group VP of SLED at Workday. "ERPA's OPTIMA methodology is a significant advancement for higher education and state and local government with limited resources. By combining ERPA's deep expertise with Workday's innovative technology, we enable these organizations to lower costs, accelerate time-to-value, and secure long-term support."

OPTIMA by ERPA reflects ERPA's ongoing commitment to serving the evolving needs of public sector and education organizations. By tailoring its methodology to smaller institutions and agencies, ERPA empowers them to leverage the capabilities of the Workday platform.
