Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement with the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, in western North Carolina, for Tyler's
Munis®enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution.
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) conducted a competitive
request for proposal process for a solution that would automate
procedures and transition the tribe away from manual, paper-driven
processes. EBCI ultimately selected Munis for its ease of use, enhanced
reporting functionality and integration across multiple core business
functions.
"The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is excited to be taking the next
step in the evolution of our financial management through our strategic
partnership with Tyler Technologies and the implementation of Munis,"
said EBCI's Principal Chief Michell Hicks. "We look forward to the
enhancements in reporting, analysis and automation that this platform
will bring to our operations, allowing us to focus on service delivery
and superior customer service by eliminating the time we currently spend
maintaining manual processes. We are confident this new ERP system will
help us improve our daily financial work and achieve our tribe's
long-term goals."
EBCI invested in a wide range of Munis
applications to modernize processes and provide enhanced customer
service, including financial management, human capital management,
employee self-service, utility billing and content management.
"Munis will streamline business processes across all financial
operations for EBCI and allow the tribe to use real-time data to make
informed business decisions," said Chris Hepburn, senior vice president
of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "Tyler is committed to our clients,
and our philosophy of continually reinvesting in our solutions as part
of the annual maintenance fee creates significant long-term value for
Tyler clients. We're pleased to welcome the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians to the Tyler family."
EBCI is the only federally recognized tribe in North Carolina. EBCI's
Office of Budget & Finance provides financial support services to
approximately 180 tribal programs. The Cherokee Boys Club, a non-profit
and self-supporting tribal enterprise incorporated by EBCI, also
recently selected Tyler's Munis software suite.
