The local government unit of Maasin, Iloilo, has entered the final phase of becoming Western Visayas’ first smart LGU through its User Acceptance Testing (UAT) training for The Prominent, the country’s first and only enterprise resource planning (ERP) software built for local government operations.

Developed by Ilonggo-led WARP Technologies and Innovations, The Prominent represents a major step toward digitizing and modernizing public service delivery.

The UAT training is the last stage of integration, equipping LGU personnel with the technical and operational skills needed to use the platform effectively.

Training modules include orientations and hands-on simulations across Human Resources, Financial Management, Public Safety and Disaster Response, and Queueing and Payment Systems, among others.

Each participant is assigned role-based tasks specific to their department to ensure readiness upon full implementation.

“Our goal with this training is to make the transition smooth so the software can truly serve its purpose, making governance smarter, more efficient, and more transparent,” said Kevin Ryan Atutubo, chief technology officer of WARP Technologies.

After the UAT phase, WARP Technologies will continue to provide technical support and monitor system performance to ensure a seamless user experience.

Maasin is the first LGU in the Philippines to implement an ERP software of this scale, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, transparency, and responsive governance.

With The Prominent, WARP Technologies seeks to empower LGUs with smart city solutions that promote efficiency, accountability, and accessibility in local government services.

WARP Technologies and Innovations is a pioneering software firm composed of Ilonggo engineers, developers, and quality assurance professionals working to advance the region’s tech ecosystem.
