Tyler Eden is a web-based ERP system for government organizations, with functions spanning finance, human resources, utility billing, and IT. Tyler's materials address clients in small cities, large counties, special districts, authorities, and school districts. Its financial management is described as multi-fund accounting with fiscal controls for grants, project costs, performance, and budgeting. Eden applications described by Tyler also include utility billing, permits and inspections, code enforcement, project accounting, licensing, cashiering, and Notify communications. Tyler describes phased rollouts, including an example for a smaller city with limited finance and IT staff. Time & Attendance can integrate with Eden to reduce or eliminate duplicate entry between timekeeping and payroll. For remaining Eden clients planning an upgrade, Tyler presents Enterprise ERP, powered by Munis, as an option. That product supports third-party integrations and real-time reporting. Tyler says its implementation team assists from the first implementation meeting through final signoff; Eden clients can submit support cases online at any time.
