Duplin County to move Munis to cloud; finance director to teach regional course
Summary
County staff announced plans to migrate Munis finance and HR software from on‑premises servers to a cloud environment and that Finance Director Chelsea Lanier will instruct a 10‑week online local government finance course (registration $180). A contract for the migration is expected on next week's consent agenda.
County staff told commissioners the county will transition its Munis finance and HR systems from on‑premises servers to a cloud‑based environment to increase remote access and reduce server costs; a contract for that migration is expected on next week’s consent agenda.
"Our finance director, Chelsea Lanier, will be the instructor for that class," said Brian Miller (county staff member), referring to an online 10‑week local government finance course offered through James Sprunt. Miller said the registration fee is $180 and that the county is considering funding attendance for department heads.
Why it matters: Migrating core finance and HR systems to a cloud environment can change operational procedures, vendor relationships, and disaster recovery capabilities. Commissioners asked about course structure, pacing and whether the county would fund department heads’ registration.
What’s next: A migration contract will likely appear on the consent agenda the following week for board consideration. Staff said they will follow up with commissioners about funding and participation in the James Sprunt finance course.
