Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced it has successfully
implemented Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 with the city of
Redmond, Wash., marking the first-ever deployment of the enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system with public sector-specific functionality
that Tyler jointly developed with Microsoft®.
The city of Redmond has already realized significant improvement in
control over transactions and workflow processes since going live last
month with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. City officials chose Tyler to
implement Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for several reasons, including its
long track record of success with public sector software, Tyler's deep
customer base in Washington state, and because Tyler jointly developed
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 public sector functionality with Microsoft.
"Tyler has such deep public sector experience that they're really the
industry expert, including when it comes to implementing the Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012 product. They not only know their business very well,
but the level of dedication to success was exactly what we were counting
on from Tyler during this implementation," said Mike Bailey, the city of
Redmond's director of finance and information services. "Right away, we
began seeing significant improvements in the way we do business with
respect to workflows, which are very sophisticated and malleable. The
acceptance level of this system has been very high, and Tyler's
dedication to the city of Redmond's success helped me garner support for
the technology transitions that we're making."
Redmond, home to approximately 54,000 residents and 5,500 businesses,
including Microsoft, developed a visionary and strategic technology plan
to better position the city to handle future challenges and address
current issues by implementing a solution that was more than just
another way of doing things.
"When I became mayor, I wanted to bring Redmond into the future, and a
key part of our plan was updating the city's financial management
software tools," said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. "With Tyler's
successful implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, we can realize
our vision of a full-service city."
The city of Redmond successfully implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
core ERP applications, including General Ledger, Purchasing and
Workflow. These were complemented with Tyler's Payroll and Cashiering
applications.
"The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with the city of
Redmond has been a resounding success thanks to the very collaborative,
two-year partnership between Redmond, Microsoft and Tyler Technologies,"
said John S. Marr Jr., Tyler's president and chief executive officer.
"Microsoft selected Tyler to jointly develop the core public sector ERP
functionality for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 because they value Tyler's
public sector expertise far above others in the industry, and Microsoft
is very confident in our implementation processes. Tyler is pleased to
play such a vital role in Redmond's success with Microsoft Dynamics AX
2012, and we look forward to this ongoing partnership."
"Tyler Technologies is enabling real impact with the city of Redmond
with the deployment of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, an integrated and
modernized financial management solution built for the business of
government," noted Gail Thomas, VP of State and Local Government,
Microsoft. "The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, which
streamlines processes and customizes workflows, demonstrates that
forward thinking government organizations can empower employees and
advance the city's capabilities in meaningful ways."
