The city of Charlotte, N.C., has entered into an agreement with Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) for its Munis®enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution to replace Charlotte's 30-year-old
financial solution thereby eliminating many of the fragmented systems
that have been created to conduct its business today. Charlotte is the
largest city in North Carolina and the 17th largest city in
the U.S. based on population.
After a comprehensive and competitive bidding process, Charlotte's ERP
selection committee chose Munis
for several reasons, including Tyler's deep public sector knowledge and
its statewide expertise -- there are 80 Munis clients throughout North
Carolina.
"The city of Charlotte was attracted to the Munis solution because it is
specifically built for local government, and it will help us deliver
fiscal transparency to our citizens while providing greater efficiencies
and productivity around data collection and analysis," said Charlotte's
ERP Program Manager David North. "Tyler Technologies was responsive to
our needs and we look forward to working with them."
The $8 million contract between Tyler Technologies and Charlotte
includes software licensing fees, professional services and
implementation for multiple applications, including financial
management, procurement and project and grant accounting. Additionally,
the contract includes software and services from third-party software
providers for airport management and compliance management add-on
applications.
"In most cases, it is no longer practical for large cities to contract
with one supplier for an ERP system that requires significant
customization, and then engage a separate third-party integrator to make
the system functional," said Richard E. Peterson Jr., president of
Tyler's ERP & School Division. "Right out of the box, Munis will help
Charlotte meet departmental needs, better serve constituents and reap
benefits from Tyler's evergreen philosophy of continually investing in
our technology platforms at no additional license fees to the client."
