Tyler supply ongoing support, maintenance and upgrades for software, hardware and operating systems. As a result, the ASP option will free the Town’s information technology resources to focus on other responsibilities.

James Hisey, Westport communications supervisor, commented on the decision to invest in Tyler’s software through its ASP model. “Westport chose Tyler’s ASP solution because it assures the most up-to-date products. Of equal importance is the fact that it will save us time and resources on the IT side, eliminating the need to hire personnel to manage the MUNIS system and install new equipment related to it. Tyler will handle these tasks for us, allowing us to concentrate on other initiatives. Tyler has an exceptional client retention rate for its MUNIS ASP agreements—this reflects the quality and value of the services they provide,” he explained.

Richard Peterson, Jr., president of Tyler’s MUNIS Financial Management Solutions, agrees. “Tyler’s MUNIS ERP solution has earned an exceptional reputation for meeting the challenges faced by public sector agencies. The Town of Westport’s decision to not only invest in our ASP model, but also to commit to a five-year agreement, reflects Tyler’s standing as the leader in the public sector market. The Town can expect to benefit greatly from choosing Tyler to host and manage its MUNIS applications. We’re honored to have been selected and look forward to a long-term partnership,” he commented.
