Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement with Marin
County, California, for Tyler’s Munis® enterprise
resource planning (ERP) solution. The agreement, valued at
approximately $8.2 million, includes software licenses, related
professional services, maintenance and support.
Marin County has approximately 2,000 full-time employees in 22
departments. The county estimates it will lose one-third of its current
workforce to retirements during the next five years, and sought a modern
and effective ERP system to support workforce-related decisions and
knowledge-transfer practices. Marin County spent four years researching
and detailing the county’s technical needs and vendor capabilities
before selecting Munis
to enhance the county’s business processes. County steering committee
members reviewed vendors based on experience, software functionality,
costs, implementation plans, input from the employees who will use the
system, and ongoing savings.
“After a thorough and exhaustive review process involving hundreds of
our employees, we concluded that Tyler’s product was the best fit for
our needs,” said Marin County Administrator Matthew Hymel. “Those
employees were particularly impressed with Tyler’s track record of
success with municipal governments. We look forward to building a
lasting and trusting relationship with Tyler as we begin the
implementation and training process.”
The county selected a wide range of Munis applications, including
functionality for core financial, budgeting, human resources and payroll
processes. Munis will replace more than 250 ancillary systems countywide
to enhance reporting capabilities and information delivery to employees,
elected officials and residents, as well as provide improved services in
a cost-effective manner.
Tyler Technologies will implement Munis using Tyler implementation
resources, all of whom are focused exclusively on public sector
implementations. Tyler does not outsource implementation efforts to
third-party integrators as Tyler’s public sector focus promotes more
effective knowledge transfer which reduces both project risk and
expense. Tyler also provides all future software enhancements as part of
the county’s annual maintenance agreement without additional relicensing
fees.
“Tyler is uniquely qualified to partner with Marin County on this
important project because of our singular focus on public sector
solutions, our proven track record of success and our software
development philosophy. These qualities provide the county with the best
return on investment available,” said Chris Hepburn, senior vice
president of Tyler’s ERP & School Division. “Helping our clients solve
their problems is what Tyler solutions are all about, and we are
committed to making the county’s transition to a new financial
management solution a successful one.”
Marin County is located in the north San Francisco Bay area with a
population of about 258,000. The county is on the north side of the
Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, bordering the Pacific Ocean to
the west, Sonoma County to the north and San Francisco Bay to the east.
