City selects Munis for enterprise reporting and
paperless functionality
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with
the city of Huntsville, Alabama, for Tyler’s Munis® enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution, which will provide the city with
a fully integrated financial and human resources system. The
agreement includes related professional services, training and
support.
Huntsville chose Munis because of its proven technology
platform, system functionality that met the city’s technological
requirements and Tyler’s success with other public sector
clients.
Munis was reviewed as part of Huntsville’s plan to modernize and
enhance numerous business systems and processes, as it worked to
replace aging systems with leading-edge technologies that easily
integrate with current IT platforms. As a comprehensive ERP system,
Munis not only addressed the city’s functionality requirements, but
it also met Huntsville’s high standards of service.
“Tyler’s Munis solution empowers the city to fully integrate key
finance, budget and human resources functions and provide our
employees with information-rich systems and business protocols that
help them perform more efficiently,” said Huntsville Finance
Director Randy Taylor. “With Munis, the city can begin to move away
from the use of paper and utilize electronic processes to
streamline business processes, which saves time and ultimately
saves taxpayers money.”
In addition, the city valued Tyler’s evergreen philosophy, which
includes future Munis updates as part of annual maintenance at no
additional cost to Tyler clients.
“Newer technology is easier to maintain and is more dependable
and secure than the older legacy systems we have been using for the
past two decades,” said Huntsville Director of Information and
Technology Services Bill Steiner. “Huntsville is a very
forward-thinking, technology-oriented city, and we’re excited about
our collaboration with Tyler. We gain a solid, functional system
with offsite disaster recovery services that help minimize
potential risk management issues.”
As part of its selection process, Huntsville also considered
vendors’ longevity and financial stability.
“We were pleased to demonstrate Munis’ strong functional fit for
the city of Huntsville, as well as explain how Tyler’s business
model and financial strength makes us a solid, long-term partner
for the city,” said Chris Hepburn, senior vice president of Tyler’s
ERP & School Division. “Tyler provides clients with the same
level of transparency that taxpayers expect, and it’s from that
foundation of open communication that Tyler builds meaningful
relationships that deliver value to municipalities and
residents.”
Huntsville has more than 2,200 employees serving approximately
180,000 residents. The city is consistently ranked among the best
places to live and work by national business publications, which
often cite its high-tech and well-educated population. For decades,
Huntsville has played an integral part of America’s space and
defense industries, and it is home to the U.S. Army’s Redstone
Arsenal, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, and Cummings Research
Park.
