Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a seven-year
software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreement with Tennessee's Madison County
and Jackson-Madison County Schools for its Munis®
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. The agreement
includes hosting services, related professional services, maintenance
and support. The county and school district utilized the existing
National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) contract in procuring Munis.
"We needed to upgrade our ERP system and Munis was a good fit because it
provides enhanced reporting functionality that will benefit the county
and school district," said Mike Nichols, finance director at Madison
County. "Munis delivered as a SaaS model will allow our staff to focus
on other projects, while knowing that our ERP system has built-in
technical security."
The county and school district selected multiple cloud-based Munis
applications including financial management, human resource management,
employee self-service and content management. Tyler clients have
successfully relied on its cloud-based solutions for more than 14 years.
"Tyler's Munis SaaS solution is a great fit for counties and school
districts because it doesn't require an investment in infrastructure,
and our solution is ready to use off the shelf without customization,"
said Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "We look
forward to partnering with Madison County and Jackson-Madison County
Schools to help them further improve daily operations."
Madison County has a population of 99,000 and its county seat is
Jackson, located 75 miles northeast of Memphis. Jackson-Madison County
Schools has 27 schools and 13,000 students. It is the second largest
employer in Madison County with more than 1,100 staff and 800 support
staff.
