Committee approves conversion of EnerGov reports from Crystal Reports to SQL Server

The committee approved a contract modification with Tyler Technologies (Yarmouth, Maine) to convert EnerGov Crystal Reports documents to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services at a cost not to exceed $85,050, ensuring continued production of permits, licenses and invoices after Crystal Reports reaches end of support in October 2026.

Applications Manager Mike Maslana said Crystal Reports generates documents from EnerGov by pulling names, addresses and project details; converting the reports will leave end‑user output unchanged while requiring training for staff who create or edit reports. Members asked whether the old documents would remain accessible; staff said document storage is separate from the report generator and records will remain accessible even after the generator is replaced.

The committee voted to approve funding (motion by Casvin; second by Frank) using tech CIP contingency funds; staff said operational staff who author reports will face a training curve, but permit applicants should see no change in documents they receive.
