Tyler Technologies established the MUNIS Public Sector Excellence Awards to recognize and reward our end–users for your achievements in an industry where the change of pace is exhilarating. This is a chance to acknowledge clients who demonstrate best practices in developing, deploying, and maintaining MUNIS Solutions in innovative ways—because our clients are a big part of why our solutions work. All MUNIS clients are invited to participate and share how Tyler applications have resulted in high–impact value by providing Return on Effort (ROE) or Return on Investment (ROI) at their site.

As a successful Tyler client, you deserve recognition for your innovation and partnership with Tyler. This is your time to shine! In addition to the prizes and accolades you’ll receive, winners also earn the opportunity to influence fellow MUNIS and Tyler Solutions users. All Tyler clients stand to gain knowledge from your success:

• Creating a unique change process utilizing a Tyler application that can educate other organizations
• Realizing significant savings after implementing a Tyler product
• Increasing staffing productivity by implementing a Tyler product
• Empowering employees, citizens, or vendors through your site’s self–service modules
