Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement with the
District School Board of Pasco County, Fla., for Tyler's Munis®enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution. The agreement, valued at
approximately $7.9 million, includes software licenses, related
professional services, maintenance and support.
Pasco County has 84 public schools and more than 67,000 students and
9,200 employees. The county, located on Florida's west coast north of
Tampa, has more than 464,000 residents.
Before embarking on a rigorous request for proposal (RFP) process for an
ERP solution, the district contracted with the Government Finance
Officers Association (GFOA) to review the district's current technology,
help the district plan for the ERP project and help facilitate the
vendor selection process. The school district assembled a dedicated ERP
team that conducted an extensive review of all proposals and held three
evaluation phases before recommending Tyler's Munis
solution to the school board.
"The extensive demo process proved that Munis is a current technology
that provides the ease-of-use, flexibility and performance that the
district needs to serve our students, parents, faculty and communities,"
said Ann Altman, ERP project leader and systems analyst for the District
School Board of Pasco County. "Overall, we selected Munis because it can
support our commitment to making data-driven decisions, and to
continuous improvement of the district's business processes.
Additionally, Munis will help the district to significantly improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of existing processes, and aid in the
transformation and standardization of financial and human resource
processes."
The District School Board of Pasco County selected several applications
from Tyler's Munis suite, including financial management, human capital
management, content management, and employee and vendor self service.
Additionally, the district purchased Munis Disaster Recovery Services to
ensure that the district can be up and running its critical processes
within hours of a disaster. The district also chose to engage Tyler's
change management services to help engineer best business practices and
manage the implementation of new processes and applications across the
district. The Pasco County Schools agreement marks the first Florida
school district client for Tyler's Munis solution.
"Munis is a great fit for school districts, because right out of the
box, it meets nearly all of their requirements, and with Tyler's deep
resources, including our dedicated implementation and support teams, we
can customize Munis to satisfy state-mandated reporting requirements,"
said Richard E. Peterson Jr., president of Tyler's ERP & School
Division. "Tyler is committed to being the ERP provider of choice for
Florida's school districts, and we are dedicated to providing the
expertise and support those districts deserve. We appreciate the
District School Board of Pasco County's trust in Tyler and we look
forward to a long partnership."
