Case Study: Amity Regional School District achieves streamlined financial processes and $87,337 annual savings with Tyler Technologies' Munis and Tyler Content Manager

Streamlining Financial Processes with Munis and Tyler Content Manager

Amity Regional School District #5 in Connecticut—serving about 2,549 students across three schools—faced a high-volume, paper-heavy finance operation that processed 3,500–4,500 purchase orders a year and managed more than 4,000 vendors. The Finance Office relied on manual requisitions, printed forms, and lengthy approval cycles, had limited storage, and could not add staff, so it needed a cost-effective way to increase efficiency and improve record tracking.

The District implemented Munis® with Tyler Content Manager using a phased, department-by-department rollout and hands-on training. Processes became electronic—purchase orders, requisitions, timesheets and direct deposit advices—cutting approval times from days to hours or minutes and eliminating filing cabinets. The District estimates $87,337 in annual savings with a payback under one year (including >$5,600 on forms/paper and >$11,000 from e‑advices), plus improved audits, high staff adoption and stronger community relations.
