ERP Project
Project Background
Since 2002, the City has used the Eden System from Tyler Technologies for financial and human resources recordkeeping and reporting. Since then, the City’s financial and administrative needs have evolved, additionally as of March 1, 2027, Tyler Technologies will no longer support the Eden system. The City has selected Tyler Technologies' MUNIS ERP system as our replacement solution.
We will use this page to centralize project updates and resources throughout the project.
What is an ERP System?
An ERP is an integrated software system that helps organizations automate and manage core business processes for optimal performance. An ERP solution is often the pillar financial information system used to record and manage all financial records and minimize risk by improving financial controls and compliance with local, state, and federal requirements, government accounting, and audit-related standards. An integrated ERP system provides a comprehensive solution used across multiple City functions, including but not limited to budgeting, general ledger, payroll, business license collection, accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash management, purchasing, contract management, project and grant accounting, financial reporting, and human resources management.
