Henry County government will spend more than $4 million to upgrade software for all of its departments, some of which is reported to be extremely outdated. According to a staff report, the current ERP and public safety software systems have largely been in place for about 20 years. The software “was state of the art at that time, but is now well behind current government software systems in employee productivity, citizen integration, and underlying technology.” The licensing and implementation of Tyler MUNIS ERP software and Tyler New World public safety software will cost $3,918,082 in addition to $431,007 for maintenance during the first two years. The resolution was approved unanimously by the Board of Commissioners at its Dec. 4 regular meeting. County staff members told the board that the new software will help employees in efficiency, decision making and other areas not considered in the 1990s when the current systems were installed.
