8. IT PROJECT UPDATES 

CIO McPhearson provided an update on current IT projects, as attached hereto.

Regarding the ERP upgrade or implementation, Member White commented that the Auditor's office had staff who were involved in the previous implementation but there were recommendations at that time that were not accepted, which is part of the problem with the current ERP. He wanted to confirm that we are only doing RFPs at this point in time, to which Mr. McPhearson said yes. Mr. McPhearson said staff will make sure the right people who the ERP directly impacts will be part of the decision making process. He said he is working with Procurement to work through everything and make sure it is a very open and thorough process.

Member White asked if it is intended for OpenGov to be used when preparing the FY2024 budget; Mr. McPhearson responded yes.

Member Eckhoff said on a couple of occasions, Circuit Court Clerk Adams has indicated that she is not happy with Tyler Technologies, adding that he got the impression that it is a nationwide problem at one point. He asked how things are going with Tyler Technologies now. Mr. McPhearson said it is better, adding that there are still some challenges with the integration between the state-mandated e-file system and the Clerk's office case management system. He said the relationship has gotten better and there is a new account rep we are working with. Member Eckhoff asked what types of problems are being experienced. Mr. McPhearson said he is unsure of all the details and would need to defer to Kevin Vaske and Clerk Adams.
