PURPOSE: To approve and authorize the Manager to sign an agreement with Tyler
Technologies, Inc. for $343,920 to move the County's Enterprise Resource Planning financial
system (MUNIS) to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
BACKGROUND: Since 2003, the MUNIS application, a product of Tyler Technologies, has
served as the County's Enterprise Resource Planning system. It has been hosted on County
owned and operated computer hardware since its original deployment. Operating within the
current self-hosted model, County IT staff maintains the ongoing operation, maintenance,
licensing, security, back-up and recovery aspects of this application and computing equipment.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a delivery model in which software is centrally hosted (in the
cloud) and delivered over the Internet via a web browser. The main benefits of SaaS over self-
hosted solutions include 1) the elimination of purchase and maintenance of expensive computer
hardware; and 2) services are purchased on a subscription basis rather than up-front licensing
cost, often referred to as a perpetual license model. Software as a Service (SaaS) allows vendors
to deliver a highly available, single solution with a singular point of support and management.
The County will also benefit from improved infrastructure architecture, with redundant power,
improved security detection / prevention, advanced backup and recovery, and client-specific
disaster recovery / business continuity measures not available with the current hosted model.
Tyler Technologies has adopted a "Cloud-First" strategy, prioritizing the delivery of future
solutions through a cloud-based model. For a critical application, transitioning to a Software as a
Service (SaaS) solution better positions the County by enhancing scalability, security, disaster
recovery capabilities, and long-term sustainability. Information Technologies supports this
direction and is confident in the technology considerations associated with Tyler's SaaS offering.
The contract has also been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office.
2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The first-year cost for this solution is $343,920. The necessary funding was
included in the approved budget.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• GOAL 6: DIVERSE AND VIBRANT ECONOMY
OBJECTIVE 2. Review and revise County policies and regulations to support business
investment in Orange County
OBJECTIVE 3. Streamline and digitize business processes to facilitate efficient
interactions between employers and County departments.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the
Manager to execute all necessary contracts as well as any future amendments.

duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software
must be restored.

application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and
prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such
activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the
event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security

SECTION C—PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

the Investment Summary.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set
forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and
Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good-faith
estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you
the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the
total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable
hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains the scope of services and related costs
(including programming and/or interface estimates) required for the project based on our
understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is required, or if you use or
request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable,
outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will
be valid for thirty(30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If you cancel services less than four(4)weeks in advance (other than for Force
Majeure or breach by us),you will be liable for all (a) daily fees associated with cancelled
professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel and (b) any non-refundable travel
expenses already incurred by us on your behalf. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign
personnel in the event you cancel within four(4)weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional,workmanlike manner, consistent
with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty,we
will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us,you agree to provide us with full and free access to
your personnel,facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide
implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies
provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12)years, all of our employees have undergone
criminal background checks prior to hire.All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and
security policies.

process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
•00•• tyler
.,..

17
to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project
deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with
us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be
liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or
to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action
or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay applicable fees according to the Invoicing
and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process,
we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional,good, and workmanlike
manner, consistent with industry standards,to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to
any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements)
that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a
maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with
any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party
secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree
to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You
agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with
proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot
resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will
be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was
required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access
to the Tyler Software,working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments,features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for
us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend
that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless
Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design;
(c) other consulting services; or(d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then-
current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to
you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at
least one (1)week's advance notice.

warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty(30) days of your
receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues
you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a
justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues
presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that
outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we
complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items
outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you,
then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS
Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as
described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.

1.1 We will defend you against any third party claim(s) that the Tyler Software or Documentation

is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final
judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the

required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six(6) or more
