Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a seven-year software
as a service (SaaS) agreement with Monroe County, Wisconsin, for
Tyler's Munis® enterprise resources planning (ERP)
solution to replace the county's legacy financial software system. The
agreement includes related professional services, training and support.
Monroe County will implement multiple Munis
applications, including financial and human capital management
applications, which will enhance the county's reporting capabilities and
access to information for employees, elected officials and citizens.
The county's competitive review focused on finding a cloud-based ERP
solution from a vendor who doesn't rely on third-party hosting services
- Tyler hosts and manages its SaaS-based solutions from its data centers
in Texas and Maine. Another key Monroe County requirement was for a Web-
and Windows-based ERP solution that includes paperless document
management, like Munis does.
By having Munis delivered via the SaaS model, Monroe County can reduce
upfront capital costs, IT personnel costs, license fees and hardware
costs. Additionally, because Munis is available anytime and anywhere,
the county will improve accessibility and provide network access for
departments that currently don't have access.
"Munis met Monroe County's very specific ERP solution needs, and we are
pleased they selected Tyler to help enhance functionality, service and
transparency," said Chris Hepburn, senior vice president of Tyler's ERP
& School Division. "The SaaS model provides our clients with Munis'
modern technology without requiring an investment of upfront capital or
a large IT team to manage servers and other related infrastructure.
Tyler looks forward to working with Monroe County for many years to
come."
Monroe County is located in southwest Wisconsin and has about 45,000
residents. The city of La Crosse also uses Munis, and Portage County,
Wisconsin, recently chose to implement Munis as well.
