Tyler Technologies ERP Software Selected by Tulsa County, Oklahoma for Proactive Development and Longevity

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL - News) announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, to provide Tyler’s MUNIS financial management solution. Valued at approximately $1.3 million, the contract includes ongoing maintenance and associated professional services.

Three years ago Tulsa County embarked on its extensive procurement process, beginning with training from the Government Finance Officers Association to develop an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) request for proposal (RFP). From the eleven vendors who responded to the County’s RFP, the pool was narrowed to three finalists following on-site product demonstrations. County officials made reference site visits before performing a final evaluation of each vendor. “In the end, Tyler impressed upon us their commitment to the local government market. Our goal was to find the best overall state-of-the-art solution on the market today — one that would meet our current and future operational needs. I believe we have succeeded,” explained Tom D. Trimble, MIS department director for Tulsa County.

According to Trimble, the County looks forward to building and maintaining a successful partnership with Tyler. “Our legacy system has served us well over the last 27 years and we felt strongly that we want to enter into a mutually beneficial partnership that would still be with us in another 27-plus years. Tyler’s MUNIS solution offers the functionality and ease of use that is important to us. We also appreciate that Tyler’s development team is proactive in the creation of a .net framework release, demonstrating its commitment to its ERP solution, as well as its longevity.”

Tulsa County has purchased MUNIS core financials, as well as software applications from the revenue and human resource product suites. Additionally, the County will employ several integrated MUNIS solutions — Business Objects, Content Management, and Self Service — to bring greater efficiency to its operations. With Tulsa County’s current system, real-time reporting is not an option and custom reports require extensive programming — typically days — to create. This will change with the implementation of Tyler’s system, as will redundant data entry, which will decrease due to the full integration.

Tulsa County also recognized the value of Tyler’s Disaster Recover services, choosing to invest in the security option. With Disaster Recovery services, Tyler will transparently retrieve a nightly copy of the County’s data, which will be hosted at Tyler’s secure facility in Falmouth, Maine. Should the County experience a disaster, these services will enable it to get its critical processes running within hours.

“Tulsa County’s extremely thorough search process reflects its commitment to providing citizens with exceptional services and makes it an excellent fit for Tyler’s MUNIS solution,” said Richard Peterson, Jr., president of Tyler’s MUNIS Financial Management Solutions. “This agreement will enable the County to join the ranks of government agencies throughout the U.S. that have implemented Tyler’s solutions to improve their business processes and to enhance services to their constituents. We’re pleased to have been chosen and are committed to a successful, long-term partnership.”

Tulsa County is home to approximately 580,000 residents and extends over 571 square miles. It ranks as the 98th largest county by population in the United States. Tulsa, which has a population of 382,000 and is the 45th largest city in the country and the second largest in the state, serves as the county seat.
