ERPA - Providing support services for Workday, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and PeopleSoft

Workday Tenant Migration

ERPA combines Workday and AWS expertise to help you plan and execute tenant migration from private to public cloud with clear processes, proven outcomes, and zero surprises.

Workday's Move to Public Cloud

Workday is asking customers to move tenants from private cloud hosting models to public cloud. For many organizations, that shift raises practical questions: what changes, how long does it take, and how do we reduce risk?

Why Workday Chose ERPA

ERPA is an AWS partner in addition to being a Workday partner, combining the power of Workday and AWS to deliver tailored business solutions and backed by 1,000 successful customer partnerships over 25 years. That's why Workday chose ERPA as one of a few select partners qualified to help customers move their tenant from Workday's private cloud to a public cloud.

Migration as Business Transformation

Tenant migration is not just a technical cutover. It impacts integrations, security, reporting, and downstream systems. ERPA starts with a readiness assessment that maps dependencies, identifies the highest risk integrations, and defines a test plan that protects business critical workflows.

Key Benefits of Workday on AWS

ERPA helps you plan and execute Workday tenant migration with a clear process, experienced guidance, and predictable outcomes. Migrating your Workday tenant to the AWS public cloud offers the highest levels of infrastructure performance, security, scalability, and key benefits that your organization will realize quickly, including:

  • Zero down time patching: to boost user productivity and satisfaction
  • Enhance Compliance: by ensuring data and regulatory compliance
  • Ensure Availability: during regional maintenance windows
  • Accelerate Innovation: with AWS native services like AI and Machine Learning
“We got into a relationship with ERPA because we had confidence in their ability to help us leverage AWS, and they had the transparency we were looking for.”

Beyond Migration: Modernize Your Workday Ecosystem

Tenant migration is also an opportunity to modernize how Workday connects to the rest of your stack. ERPA can extend your plan to include Workday on AWS integration patterns, data strategy for analytics, and ongoing support through Workday AMS and integrations monitoring. If you are preparing for a tenant migration or evaluating your options, ERPA can help you build a plan with clear assumptions, fixed scope options, and a smooth transition to Workday managed services once the migration is complete.
