Kentucky Schools Launch Statewide Cloud-based ERP System From Tyler Technologies

Business Wire
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has successfully moved 173
Kentucky school districts from traditional on-premise deployments
of its Munis® enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a hosted
Munis solution. The process took less than two years and makes
Kentucky the largest school system in the U.S. on a cloud-based
financial management system.
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has been a Munis
client for 18 years. KDE recommended its school districts migrate
to a hosted Munis solution for numerous benefits, including:
- More reliable access and availability
of Munis services compared to the individual districts’ on-premise
infrastructure, which had reached end-of-life and needed
significant investment.
- Cost savings from transitioning
infrastructure and software maintenance from the districts’ IT
teams to Tyler’s focused, highly trained technicians who can more
efficiently support the school districts’ needs.
- Disaster-recovery services with
redundancy and fail-over features that would be cost-prohibitive
for school districts to achieve on their own with an on-premise
solution.
- Tyler’s evergreen policy, which ensures
the districts will continue to have the most current version of
Munis without disruption of business or relicensing costs.
“Kentucky is a national P-12 leader in cloud computing and has
already successfully transitioned many services to the cloud,
including statewide email, and we believe that migrating to a
hosted Munis solution is the best investment of state dollars for
the long term,” said David Couch, associate commissioner for the
Office of Knowledge, Information and Data Services. “By moving to
Munis’ cloud-based model, we’re actually increasing reliability and
capabilities for our school districts, while taking a lot of work
off their IT staff. Cost reductions are a benefit of
cloud-computing, but for Kentucky schools, our primary driver was
increasing the reliability of services beyond what our aging
on-premise infrastructure could provide. For 18 years, Munis has
been a very good product for us, and we’re excited about the
cloud-based Munis model because it gives Kentucky schools an
outstanding financial solution and infrastructure far into the
future.”
Of Kentucky’s 174 school districts, the remaining Jefferson
County Public Schools (JCPS) is working with Tyler on a migration
plan, and will keep its more than 100,000 students and 6,400
teachers on its current, on-premise Munis system until the
migration is complete.
“This project was a successful collaboration between Tyler, KDE
and Kentucky school districts. Migrating approximately 10 districts
per month in less than two years, and completing the project on
time and on budget, is no small feat,” said Richard E. Peterson
Jr., president of Tyler’s ERP & School Division. “The Kentucky
Department of Education is truly a national P-12 leader in
aggressively pursuing cloud-based solutions, and they’re showing
solid stewardship of the state’s financial and human resources with
the technology decisions they’re making.”
