Case Study: Tucson Unified School District achieves rapid HR approvals and integrated finance with Tyler Technologies' Infinite Visions

Southern Arizona's Largest District Connects Departments With Infinite Visions

Tucson Unified School District, Southern Arizona’s largest district serving about 47,000 students across 89 sites with roughly 8,000 employees, faced major operational friction from disconnected finance and HR/payroll systems. Personnel changes relied on paper personnel action forms (PAFs) routed by interoffice mail, creating long, opaque approval cycles that averaged 21 days and could stretch to months, plus slow, fragmented reporting.

By implementing Tyler’s Infinite Visions, the district moved to electronic personnel action requests (ePARs) and an integrated finance and HR platform. Approvals now route electronically with full visibility, cutting PAR processing from weeks to days—or hours for priorities—saving time across roughly 30,000 annual PARs, speeding budgeting and reporting with real-time data, and improving staff efficiency, accountability, and satisfaction.
