JPS continues Tyler Munis enterprise resource planning implementation; consultant support extended
Loading...
Summary
The district presented an amendment to extend consultant Results Biz's project management support for the Tyler Munis ERP rollout. Financial modules are slated to go live July 1; payroll and later time-and-attendance components will follow, according to the administration.
Jackson Public Schools officials briefed the board May 6 on continued implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system from Tyler Munis and recommended extending consultant Results Biz for project management support.
Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mr. Burke said the Tyler Munis ERP will replace multiple disparate systems and unify accounting, finance, payroll, human resources and time-and-attendance in one platform. Burke told the board the financial portion is scheduled to go live on July 1 and that payroll is expected later (the administration discussed subsequent modules and timing during the presentation).
The administration said extending Results Biz’s consulting engagement will support the district’s corrective action plan items required by the Department of Education and help ensure an orderly implementation. Board members asked for a plain-language description of benefits; Mr. Burke said the ERP will create a single "source of truth" and improve record-keeping efficiencies.
Ending: The amendment to continue consultant support was recommended by administration; the presentation framed the work as a near-term priority tied to finance and compliance deliverables. Additional implementation milestones and integration of time-and-attendance were discussed for future updates.
