Durham's Finance Department Wins Excellence Award

Award Acknowledges Best Practices in Software Implementation

 

Durham, N.C. - The City of Durham's Department of Finance has been
awarded the Munis Public Sector Excellence Award by Tyler Technologies,
Inc. for demonstrating best practices in developing, deploying, and
maintaining Munis Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.  

 

The City's Munis ERP system consists of software applications that
provide the City with the knowledge to manage core business processes.
According to Keith Herrmann, interim director of the City's Department
of Finance, integration is the single most important feature of ERP.
"The system provides software capabilities that allow seamless
integration of major processes and functions across the City.  The key
factor is to enter data once, and have it flow through the entire
system," Herrmann said.  "In essence, the City merged all of its
separate software applications into one package, thereby lowering its
maintenance costs and making access to administrative applications, such
as budgeting, payroll, and grants, consistent across the City's various
departments.  Ultimately, this enables City employees to be more
efficient and provide better customer service to Durham residents."

 

The department will receive the award at a ceremony in October.  For
