Indianapolis Public Schools shifts to SaaS
environment for increased staff efficiencies
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that
Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) in Indiana has successfully gone
live with Tyler’s Munis® cloud-based enterprise resource planning
(ERP) solution.
IPS implemented Munis on-premises in 2005, using the solution to
manage its financials, human resources, payroll, and content
management. After conducting a business process review in 2017, the
district recognized the opportunity to migrate its Munis solution
to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, which would provide the
district with built-in disaster recovery services and regular
software upgrades.
“We seized the opportunity to move to a SaaS environment to
bring increased functionality and ease of use to our 300 users that
rely on the software daily to manage critical personnel and
financial information,” said Weston Young, chief financial officer,
IPS. “Overall, I believe the total cost of ownership for SaaS is
far less expensive and less risky than keeping servers
on-premises.”
Tyler’s team worked with IPS on a completely remote
implementation process, which resulted in back office improvements
such as an entirely restructured payroll system for HR that added
hundreds of pay codes, new processes, and an expanded use of
employee self-service. With IPS’ employees shifting to remote
operations during the coronavirus pandemic, the district took
advantage of other virtual processes, including paperless
processing of accounts payable and payroll.
“Through IPS’ strong partnership and close collaboration during
the virtual implementation process, we were able to deliver a
comprehensive ERP solution that will fit their evolving needs,”
said Chris Webster, president of Tyler’s ERP Division. “We’re also
pleased to be supporting IPS’ desire to be on a SaaS environment,
which will ensure the district can take advantage of regular
upgrades and disaster recovery services.”
With the core financial, HR, and payroll management in place,
IPS is eager to utilize other components, such as vendor
self-service to manage the contract and bid process, and asset
management.
IPS is the largest public school district in Indiana. The
district employs more than 4,000 people and serves more than 30,000
students.
