Where each one falls short

Bling

  • Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
  • The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis)

  • Implementation is a one to two year project with data conversion and chart of accounts redesign, and the professional services cost regularly exceeds the software cost in the first years.
  • Nothing is published, and pricing varies substantially between jurisdictions of similar size, so buyers should compare quotes with peer authorities and cooperative contract pricing rather than negotiate blind.
  • Tyler is steering customers from perpetual on-premise licences to cloud subscription, which converts a capital purchase into a recurring operating cost that many jurisdictions have not budgeted for over a ten year horizon.
  • The user experience is generational and module-dependent, with parts of the system still reflecting older design, so occasional users such as departmental approvers need repeated training.
  • Tyler has acquired heavily and its product portfolio overlaps, so a jurisdiction can find itself running two Tyler products that do similar things with an integration between them rather than one coherent system.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Can we stay on-premise?

Tyler is directing new business to its cloud offering. Existing on-premise customers are being encouraged to migrate, so model the subscription cost before assuming the old licensing continues indefinitely.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Why not use a commercial ERP?

Fund accounting, encumbrances, GASB reporting and state-specific payroll rules are the reason. Corporate ERP requires heavy customisation to satisfy a government audit.
