3 Background - IT Alignment Study Financials/HR/UB Public Service Ops Public Safety Ops Assessment Findings 1.Missing system functionality results in manual or inefficient business processes 2.Technology infrastructure is complicated and lacks critical integration between applications 3.Current applications make reporting and analysis difficult or even impossible in some cases 4.Current foundational applications are based on out of date technology & are hard to use Strategy Recommendations Implement Foundational Software Implement New Systems Expand Existing Systems Implement Immediate Improvements Online PO IT Governance DRC IT Enablement Improved Reporting Online Self Service Online Records The IT Alignment Study, completed in April 2006, identified improvement opportunities in four significant areas Strategy Recommendations and a supporting IT Alignment Roadmap were developed to address the opportunity areas The first major project in the IT Alignment Strategy Roadmap is the implementation of new software to support the Financial, Human Resources and Utility Billing functions performed by the City Note: Projects/initiatives outlined in red are associated with the Financials, HR & Utility Billing software implementation

4 Background – Software Selection A software selection project was initiated in June 2006 to identify the best software package to support the City’s Financial, HR and Utility Billing functions The selection process is summarized below Over 1500 business requirements were developed and validated by a cross section of City staff An RFP covering the required business functionality was developed and distributed to 13 separate municipal software providers Seven vendors responded After detailed RFP analysis was completed, 2 of the 7 respondents were invited to demonstrate their software Each vendor demonstration took 2 days to complete 1 vendor, Tyler Munis, was the clear overall best fit City staff followed up with reference checks and a site visit City worked with the vendor to draft a contract

5 Background – Software Selection Each vendor RFP response was evaluated a balanced set of criteria that included cost, vendor viability, product functionality, implementation approach and other technology evaluation criteria (see table below) Each vendor RFP response was evaluated a balanced set of criteria that included cost, vendor viability, product functionality, implementation approach and other technology evaluation criteria (see table below) The two highest scoring vendors across all categories were invited to demonstrate their software The two highest scoring vendors across all categories were invited to demonstrate their software

6 Background – Software Selection Each vendor who was selected to participate in demonstrations was evaluated for software functionality, technical fit, vendor viability, maintenance/support, cost and implementation approach Each vendor who was selected to participate in demonstrations was evaluated for software functionality, technical fit, vendor viability, maintenance/support, cost and implementation approach The Tyler MUNIS product scored highest in all functional areas as shown in the graph below The Tyler MUNIS product scored highest in all functional areas as shown in the graph below
