City and Public Schools of Alexandria select Tyler's Munis® ERP solution to improve efficiency

Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed agreements with the City of Alexandria, Va., and Alexandria City Public Schools for Tyler's Munis®enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. The contracts include software licenses, related professional services, maintenance and support.

Alexandria is an independent city in Virginia with a population of approximately 140,000 and 2,550 employees. The City issued a competitive bid for proposals before selecting Tyler's Munis ERP applications, including financial management, human resource management, and other business processes. Additionally, Alexandria is using Tyler's consulting services during the implementation phase to effect industry best practices. Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) has 19 schools serving approximately 12,400 students. ACPS also issued a competitive bid for proposals before selecting Munis ERP applications, including financial management, human capital management, self service and content management.

"The City of Alexandria selected Tyler's Munis solution to replace several aging systems because Munis most closely meets the City's need for an enterprise software solution that can grow with the City," said Alexandria City Chief Information Officer Tom Trobridge. "With Munis, we expect reduced data-entry processing times, increased data accuracy, and better access to real-time information and documentation. Munis also delivers strong business intelligence tools that will help us improve our operations and better manage our limited resources."

"We are excited about replacing our current financial and personnel systems with Tyler's Munis solution which will allow ACPS to perform and monitor business transactions more efficiently and improve our overall effectiveness as a school division," said Stacey Johnson, interim chief financial officer at Alexandria City Public Schools. "The new system will eliminate the need for third-party applications and several manual, paper-driven processes to also increase our productivity. The ability to work with an integrated system that is also utilized by the city government creates an optimal environment for stronger financial management and we are looking forward to a great partnership with Tyler Technologies."

"Our clients can depend on the longevity of our products because of Tyler's evergreen philosophy to continually invest in functionality and technology, and it's a value clients receive at no extra cost," said Richard E. Peterson Jr., president of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "Our ERP solutions are designed with end-users in mind, focusing on the tools and workflows they need to better do their jobs and provide improved data transparency. We are pleased Alexandria and Alexandria City Public Schools partnered with Tyler and we look forward to a long relationship."
