It is easy to overlook Information Technology until something isn’t working properly. Information systems are the backbone of the technology we take for granted. IT managers and staff can use all the help they can get! Custom reports can help IT staff ensure that MUNIS users are set up with proper permissions and access.
“We have worked with CRS since 2007. When we call for support or for a new report, we know who will answer the phone and that he will remember us and what we last discussed. The value of not having to start at square one with a new person is hard to overestimate. CRS is easy to work with and flexible in delivering quality solutions within a deadline. They make us look good.”
—Director of Technology, South Windsor Public School, CT
CRS is a MUNIS reporting consultant that has been producing MUNIS IT Reports since 2005. Our experience over the years tells us that while all municipal and school organizations are similar, each entity is different and requires custom reporting that meets regulations, ordinances and requests from governing bodies.
Report writing software like Crystal Reports and SSRS provide a direct connection to the MUNIS database where tables and database views can be used to construct reports that are not available in MUNIS. Along with detailed reports showing line-item information, these report writers use formulas and expressions to produce custom groups. With sub-totals and rolled-up information needed by administrators and officers, discussions lead to good decisions based on clear, accurate data.
