CACI’s ERP Academy drives government workforce system modernization

Today’s technologies evolve and advance at breakneck speed. Government systems are increasingly reliant on complex software, but these systems don’t succeed because of software alone. Success requires people who know how to translate technology into decisive action. 

A unique government challenge: Sustaining and evolving critical digital skills

Federal agencies rely on large, complex enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to manage their workforce, payroll, and mission-critical operations. As these systems evolve, agencies are navigating a transition to cloud-based platforms and advanced capabilities — while continuing to meet stringent security, compliance, and reliability requirements.

A key challenge in this modernization journey is ensuring access to specialized expertise needed to operate and evolve these technologies within federal environments. Federal ERP and human capital management (HCM) systems are highly complex, and professionals with deep experience in both the technology and the regulatory context are in high demand across the market. Maintaining this expertise over time is essential to supporting agency missions and long-term operational resilience. 

Informed innovation in action: What the ERP Academy is

CACI’s ERP Academy represents a deliberate, bold investment in people. We are building a workforce that understands both the technology and the mission context within which it operates.

Long-term innovation is rooted in expertise, not just tools. Modern ERP and HCM platforms are powerful, but they deliver value only when implemented and managed by skilled professionals who understand federal requirements. Relying solely on the open market for talent is costly and unpredictable. Competition for cleared professionals with government ERP experience is intense, and turnover can disrupt long-term programs.

Through the ERP Academy, rather than chasing talent, we grow and cultivate it. By developing people who are trained, mentored, and prepared to support federal missions from day one, we ensure expertise is available exactly when and where it matters most.

With the largest staff of cleared HR technologists federally, CACI delivers structured, hands-on training aligned specifically to the systems most widely used across the federal government, emphasizing applied learning and real-world relevance rather than classroom instruction and generic certifications.

Core focus areas include:

• Oracle PeopleSoft: Supporting federal HR and payroll operations.
• Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM: Representing the next generation of cloud-based workforce systems.
• Artificial intelligence and agility layer: Incorporating low-code and no-code programming tools and AI features effectively.
• Cloud and enterprise system fundamentals: Including integration, security, and scalability.
• Emerging ERP and HCM solutions: Leveraging leading tools that underpin workforce management environments.

All based in the U.S., training is tailored to how these platforms are used within government implementations. Participants learn how policies, compliance requirements, and security controls shape system design and operations in federal settings.

Training that reflects real government operations

A defining feature of the ERP Academy is its emphasis on real-world scenarios. Participants work through exercises that mirror the challenges faced within active federal programs where compliance, auditability, and data protection are non-negotiable. Participants learn how to balance modernization goals with the operational stability agencies require.

Mentorship also plays a critical role. Our veteran developers, analysts, and experts share lessons learned from decades of expertise, transferring practical knowledge and ensuring that knowledge goes beyond certifications and documentation. Simply put, graduates of the Academy are not just trained; they are prepared with the critical thinking skills to contribute meaningfully on real programs from the start.

Rapid responsiveness: How this augments the might of the federal workforce

The ERP Academy delivers tangible and immediate benefits. We reduce risk by providing stable teams that are familiar with government systems and processes. Projects can start faster, without lengthy onboarding processes or learning curves.

Over time, talent remains within the team, resulting in better cost control. Continuity leads to more consistent outcomes, fewer disruptions, and systems that evolve thoughtfully rather than reactively.

The ERP Academy is closely aligned with CACI’s technology partners, including Oracle and other leading ERP providers, enabling agencies to adopt new features and cloud-based capabilities with greater confidence and work with teams that understand both the products and the policy landscape within which they must operate.

Enduring commitment to enterprise and mission success

CACI’s long history of supporting complex enterprise systems across civilian and defense agencies provides a strong foundation of trust, technical insight, and mission awareness.

As agencies’ missions evolve, so does our training, expanding into emerging areas such as cloud transformation, AI integration, and automation. This forward-thinking approach gives agencies confidence that knowledgeable, adaptable teams support their systems, and technology partners gain a trusted collaborator who can help deliver long-term success in government.

CACI is proud to support innovation, strengthen trust, and deliver better outcomes for federal missions. In an era of constant change, expertise remains one of the most valuable government assets, and the ERP Academy ensures that never wavers.
