Innovating with Workday Extend: Build Apps That Scale with Your Business

As companies seek agility and speed in adapting their HR, finance, and operational systems, many are turning to Workday Extend—Workday’s platform for building secure, scalable custom apps directly within the Workday ecosystem.

And for organizations looking to fast-track success? ERPA, a trusted Workday Services Partner, is ready to help design, build, and launch custom Extend apps tailored to your business needs.

What Workday Extend Brings to the Table

Workday Extend empowers organizations to create HR, finance, and IT apps that integrate deeply with Workday’s native platform. This includes:

• Low-code and no-code tooling with drag-and-drop builders and in-platform previews
• Access to Workday’s object model and real-time data
• Visual process orchestration to map data, define logic, and automate tasks
• Enterprise-grade security, governance, and audit controls

All apps run inside the Workday environment, reducing the need for shadow IT or disconnected systems.

ERPA: Your Extend Development Partner

While Extend empowers internal teams, building enterprise-grade apps can require deep knowledge of Workday’s architecture, security model, and APIs. That’s where ERPA comes in.

• Define high-impact use cases for Extend apps
• Rapidly prototype and build using App Builder and Orchestrate
• Leverage best practices in architecture and design
• Ensure security and compliance within Workday’s framework
• Integrate advanced capabilities like AI Gateway, AWS services, and Developer Copilot

Whether you’re building an internal approval app, a data collection portal, or an automation layer for complex business logic, ERPA can help accelerate your development cycle and reduce risk.
