Committee discusses digital budget book; staff to explore Tyler integration rather than full ERP replacement
Summary
After demos with third‑party vendors, committee members favored leveraging more functionality in the county’s existing Tyler Technologies system for a digital budget book and financial reporting rather than pursuing a costly full ERP replacement.
The Audit and Finance Committee discussed options for a digital budget book and annual comprehensive financial reporting software on May 14. Staff shared that prior demos included ClearGov and OpenGov, but concerns arose when a vendor positioned an enterprise resource planning replacement that would supplant the county’s existing Tyler Technologies platform.
"It would have been a complete, a massive expenditure and a just basically elimination of Tyler," the finance director said, and the committee stopped pursuing that approach. Members instead encouraged staff to work with Tyler to explore tools the county already licenses, including Tyler's financial statement builder and reporting modules, as lower‑cost and better‑integrated alternatives.
Committee members noted implementation complexity and the limited window between financial close and budget season for major projects; staff said they have a meeting scheduled with Tyler representatives to explore options and will report back with recommendations.
