Tyler Technologies, Inc. has signed a seven-year software-as-a-service (SaaS) contract with Bibb County School District in Georgia for Tyler's Munis enterprise resource planning solution. The agreement includes hosting services, related professional services, maintenance and support.

Bibb County School District selected Tyler's Munis ERP SaaS solution to replace its 25-year-old AS400 system that could no longer support critical business functions. The school district chose to invest in a wide range of Munis applications, including financial management, human resources, payroll and content management.

"Bibb County School District issued an RFP because of the immediate need to update information systems and infrastructure to improve operational effectiveness and student achievement," said Sharon Roberts, Bibb County School District's executive director of accounting. "I am extremely excited to implement Munis and look forward to the district using an up-to-date ERP system that includes electronic approvals, requires less paper, has more user-friendly processes, and allows management to make timely accurate decisions based on easily accessible real time data."

Bibb County School District also selected Tyler Pulse™, an information warehouse tool that acts as a central data repository. Tyler Pulse combines and transforms data from multiple databases into highly usable information that supports effective decision-making. Tyler Pulse integrates with the district's transportation management solution, Tyler's Versatrans^® solution.

"Munis delivered as a cloud-based solution is a cost-effective way for Bibb County School District to meet operational needs," said Chris Hepburn, senior vice president of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "Munis will enable the district to become more efficient, productive and responsive to the needs of its students through integrated software. We are pleased Bibb County School District extended its partnership with Tyler and we look forward to a long relationship."

Bibb County School District serves over 24,000 Macon-Bibb County students. It has 39 schools and three specialty programs and employs approximately 3,300 employees.
