Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

SAP for Government

  • SAP's own G-Cloud 14 SuccessFactors pricing document lists Employee Central at £59.76 per user per year for the public sector, with Recruiting and Onboarding modules charged per transaction at £142.00 and £72.00 respectively
  • RISE with SAP is listed on G-Cloud 14 as a subscription requiring a minimum three year contract term, per SAP's own pricing document

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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Is Munis still a product?

Yes, sold as Tyler Enterprise ERP. Users and job adverts still say Munis, and Tyler continues to use the name alongside the new one.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): What does it cost?

Not published. Licence is quoted by modules, users and population, and implementation is separate. Ask peer jurisdictions of similar size for their contract, which is generally a public record.

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.
