Tyler Technologies, Inc. announced it has signed an agreement with Collier County, Florida, for Tyler?s Priority Based Budgeting solution, which will help improve the performance and efficiency of the county?s budget by removing the common limitations of line-item budgeting. The priority-based budgeting approach aligns resources and funding with community priorities and outcomes, shifting the focus to accountability for program results. This creates transparency and a better understanding of the true cost of each program.

With the implementation of Tyler?s Priority Based Budgeting solution, the county will be able to transform its budget process and help fulfill the priorities of its strategic plan. This includes safeguarding taxpayer money by promoting fiscal stewardship and promoting data-driven decision-making. In addition, Tyler?s Priority Based Budgeting includes machine learning capabilities to build predictive analytics that create an improved budget model, leading to targeted predictions that influence programs and outcomes.

Following Tyler?s acquisition of ResourceX in October 2023, Tyler added Priority Based Budgeting to its ERP portfolio, elevating Tyler?s offerings in the public sector budgeting space. Collier County joins a growing number of local governments adopting priority-based budgeting methodologies, in line with budgeting best practice recommendations by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). With a population of roughly 392,000, Collier County is located at the southern end of Florida?s Gulf Coast and includes the city of Naples.
