The city of Santa Barbara, Calif., has signed an agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) for Tyler’s Munis^® enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to modernize technology and increase efficiency.

Santa Barbara, with a population of approximately 88,500 and the county seat of Santa Barbara County, selected Tyler’s Munis ERP software to replace their in-house system that required substantial support and lacked functionality. The city has invested in a wide range of Munis applications, including financial management, human capital management, content management, and vendor and employee self service.

Additionally, the city chose Munis for its technology features, such as dashboards that deliver personalized business functionality that will allow Santa Barbara to take advantage of a modern ERP system, and for Tyler’s evergreen philosophy, which provides the city with perpetual software upgrades without additional license fees.

“We believe that Munis provides the broadest applications and is the most flexible ERP solution available, and, combined with our evergreen philosophy, this makes Tyler the best partner for cities that want a long-term and affordable ERP system from a company with the financial strength and history of success that can be relied upon,” said Richard E. Peterson Jr., president of Tyler’s ERP & School Division.
