DISCUSSION
Council has another staff report to consider before them to enter into a contract with Tyler Technologies to license their ERP software suite. The five (5) year contract will replace our current Central Square ERP system that the City has utilized for the past 31 years. The project is anticipated to take four (4) years to complete.
Bluebeam Studio Prime software is required to make the new ERP system work for the Community Development Department that was not included in the proposed Tyler Technologies contract. The software allows for a single point of entry and communication for all electronic plan checks across all City departments and with the business that submitted the plans. Tyler Technologies does not make or distribute this software and it must be purchased separately through a reseller. The Bluebeam software is sold through a reseller CADD Microsystems.
