20 years supporting federal programs Healthcare + technology, where timelines and quality are non-negotiable
ERP International was founded in 2006 by Melvin and Sandra Petty as a family business. Based on Melvin’s decades of experience across accounting, operations and consulting roles in business and government contracting, the goal was simple: support their family while taking on complex work for U.S. businesses and government agencies.
From the start, ERP relied on hands-on experience and an honest advisory approach, with disciplined processes designed to improve stability and performance. We focus on measurable data and results that hold up under tight oversight and tighter budgets. Today, ERP delivers end-to-end support for U.S. federal programs across healthcare and technology.

Use Cases
Digital Solutions: ERP Replaces Incumbent Contractor to Modernize Legacy System
Situation / Customer Need: Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES) is a legacy DoD-wide system used to plan and manage missions, deployments, and munitions. ERP took over the modernization of JOPES under the GFM contract and is in the process of fielding the next-generation replacement in 2026.
ERP’s Solution:
- Next Generation of the Secure Cloud: ERP implemented a greenfield classified Microsoft Azure Cloud deployment for the application – the first of its kind for DISA.
- Future of DevSecOps: ERP is implementing and developing a playbook for cross-domain DevSecOps pipelines in DISA; GFM has been nominated by the DISA Director as the template for DevSecOps operations for other DISA programs.
- API first architecture and containerization: Modern, scalable architecture that can support the resiliency and performance needed for a system that will be used to support every DoD mission going forward.
Results:
- ERP has implemented the Pilot solution into production and is working on sunsetting the legacy application; ERP has successfully addressed 10 years of requirements that the legacy system could not meet.
- ERP provided a cloud-based solution that uses containerization and zero-downtime deployments to meet the mission’s high-availability and resiliency requirements.
- The cloud-based infrastructure drives down operating costs and the services-based application architecture reduces software maintenance costs, substantially increasing ROI.
Digital Solutions: Implementing Enterprise Architecture Program
Situation / Customer Need: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) needed an integrated enterprise architecture (EA) tool suite to model and manage its IT and business portfolios in a single, unified environment. The organization required a system that would capture, maintain, and share enterprise-wide information to support key strategic needs: assessing legislative impacts on operations, enabling real-time asset management, informing capital planning and investment decisions, and providing accurate data to Governance Boards.
ERP’s Solution:
- Defined the enterprise architecture methodology, conducted a comprehensive tool assessment, and identified the technical resources needed to rapidly deploy the Sparx platform, migrate legacy EA data, and implement scalable Application Programming Interfaces (API).
- Implemented Sparx AI using EA Genie and Prolaborate to build Agentic AI tools that expedite modeling and EA workloads.
Results:
- ERP, under its EASS contract and later under its SEAS contract, awarded to its TERP JV, migrated CMS to Sparx EA and implemented a lean technology platform that drove efficiencies and cost savings for CMS.
- Additionally, Sparx EA’s AI capabilities have positioned CMS to move rapidly toward AI-enabled automation.
Health Solutions: Case Management Support
Situation / Customer Need: The customer was facing significant delays in medical case management due to a vendor’s inability to staff and retain critical clinical personnel during its transition from decentralized to centralized processing. Tightened timelines increased the backlog of noncompliant medical profiles, negatively impacting soldier readiness. The customer required a partner who could quickly staff hard-to-fill locations, eliminate case backlogs and streamline communication across Regional Support Commands nationwide.
ERP’s Solution:
- Rapidly recruited, credentialed, and onboarded 31 full-time employees, nurses, and Physicians within 4 weeks, including historically hard-to-fill locations.
- Established a new team structure, implementing improved documentation, tracking tools, and streamlined communication.
