Tyler’s Munis to replace a 25-year-old system
with a modern enterprise resource planning solution
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement
with Wichita, Kansas, for Tyler’s Munis® enterprise resource
planning (ERP) solution. In addition to the core financial,
procurement, and human capital management functions, this agreement
includes integrated content management through Tyler Content
Manager™ as well as Munis analytics and reporting to support
Wichita’s financial, human resources (HR) and payroll operations.
Additionally, the city will protect their data with Tyler Disaster
Recovery services.
The city sought to integrate its financial, payroll and HR
processes. For the past 25 years, it had been using two systems
that were creating process redundancies. Officials chose Tyler’s
integrated Munis solution to offer several critical benefits over
its current systems.
Wichita will benefit from the following features:
- A user-friendly and familiar end-user
interface
- Employee and vendor self-service
portals
- Easy-to-use reporting tools for staff
with non-technical backgrounds
- A single software platform and single
relational database, which will combine all functions and create
efficiencies
- Electronic workflow and a robust
content management system to store and retrieve electronic images
of supporting documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and
payments
Wichita’s agreement with Tyler will also help elevate the city’s
involvement in the “What Works Cities” initiative, one of the
largest-ever philanthropic efforts to enhance the use of data and
evidence in the public sector. Wichita was selected as one of 12
new cities this year to participate in the program, which is funded
by Bloomberg Philanthropies and launched in April 2015. It is
designed to help cities use data to improve the lives of its
residents. “What Works Cities” collaborates with participating
municipalities – 40 cities in total – and reviews their current use
of data and evidence to identify both best practices and growth
areas.
“Wichita is making significant strides to utilize data to
actively improve the lives of our citizens and best position
ourselves for future growth,” said Jeff Longwell, mayor of
Wichita.
“We’re pleased to bring Tyler’s Munis solution to Wichita and
also support them in this unique initiative to better serve their
constituents,” said Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler’s ERP &
Schools Division. “By creating efficiencies and introducing an
easy-to-use tool, we hope to significantly streamline Wichita’s HR
and financial operations.”
Wichita will also benefit from Tyler's evergreen perpetual
licensing approach that provides regular and significant, yet
manageable, software enhancements without an additional relicensing
or service fee, ensuring the county has continued access to
evolving technology.
Wichita is the 48th largest city in the country and most
populated city in Kansas, with nearly 390,000 residents.
