Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with Rapid
City, S.D., for Tyler's Munis®enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution to fully integrate the city's
finance, human resources and payroll applications. The agreement
includes related professional services, training and support.
Munis replaces the city's legacy financial system, which couldn't
integrate across departments, as well as several standalone systems used
by multiple city departments. As a fully integrated system, Munis
addresses all of Rapid City's current and anticipated functional needs.
The city also will implement Tyler Content Manager, which is completely
integrated with Munis.
During its competitive review, Rapid City searched for a software
solution that would provide traditional financial management
applications, including budget preparation and forecasting, accounts
payable and receivable, fixed asset management, grant management, and
other accounting procedures. In addition to core financial system needs,
the city wanted a solution that would enable comprehensive human capital
management applications such as applicant tracking, benefit
administration, self-service for managers and employees, and payroll
functions.
"We chose Tyler largely because of its proven technology platform, its
success with other clients, and how well Munis met our functional
requirements. We expect to gain efficiencies, improve processes and give
users better access to data," said Rapid City Finance Officer Pauline
Sumption. "We also were attracted by the ROI from Tyler's evergreen
philosophy, which includes all future Munis updates as part of annual
maintenance fees. Additionally, Tyler's financial strength positions
them to be a solid long-term technology partner for Rapid City."
"Tyler is pleased that Rapid City found Munis to be a strong functional
fit that will help streamline business processes and reduce costs," said
Chris Hepburn, senior vice president of Tyler's ERP & School Division.
"Our success with other municipalities provided Rapid City with the
confidence that implementing Munis is the best investment of its
taxpayer dollars."
Rapid City is South Dakota's second-largest city and is 25 miles from
the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The city has more than 740
full-time employees and serves nearly 70,000 residents. The state's
largest city, Sioux Falls, licensed Tyler's Munis solution in 2012.
