    Why Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation runs longer and goes deeper than the data validation pack

    Data validation proves what loaded matches what extracted. Migration reconciliation proves what loaded matches what the business owes — including every delta accumulated during cutover, parallel-run and the first 12 months post go-live.

    The cutover-weekend delta, the parallel-run period-end close cycles, the inter-fund transfers that posted on the last day of the source month, the encumbrance carryovers that crossed the fiscal year, the payroll runs that processed during the parallel window, the Courts case-financial-obligations that changed during the cutover weekend, the Energov permit revenue that posted overnight, the federal grant draws that hit the source in the final days of source-system life — every one of these surfaces is a reconciliation workstream in any serious Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework.

    Consultant-led Tyler-to-Fusion programmes routinely treat reconciliation as a one-time activity that ends at go-live. The result is the predictable 6-month 'stabilisation' window where the County CFO is fighting unexplained variances, the external auditor is requesting tie-outs after the fact, the Clerk of Court is escalating Courts case-financial-obligation drifts, and the union business agents are filing grievances over payroll discrepancies. Every one of those outcomes is preventable with a structured Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework that runs continuously through cutover, parallel-run and the first 12+ months post go-live.

    Syntra ETL's Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework is the operational answer: seven reconciliation domains, each with its own variance threshold and accountable signer, the same harness running every month through parallel-run, monthly through the first 12 months post go-live, quarterly through months 13–24, and annually thereafter as part of the standard GASB-aligned audit cycle. The first post-go-live external GASB audit walks through the reconciliation evidence pack as the primary tie-out — and the unqualified-opinion issuance becomes the gold-standard outcome.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does a Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework actually contain?+

    A Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework is the structured, repeatable set of tie-out workstreams that proves — at the level of evidence the County CFO, Clerk of Court, external auditor and state Public Records Officer will accept — that the migration from Munis, Eden, iNovah, Energov, Brazos and Courts Odyssey to Oracle Fusion Public Sector Financials, HCM and CX left zero unexplained variance. The framework covers seven reconciliation domains: fund accounting trial balance, position control + payroll, Courts case-financial-obligations, Energov + iNovah revenue, attached binaries, state-reporting integrations and grant project-cost. Each domain has its own reconciliation depth (row count, sum, hash, business-rule), its own variance threshold, its own accountable signer and its own audit-grade evidence pack. The Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework runs continuously through cutover, parallel-run and the first 12 months post go-live.

    How is Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation different from data validation?+

    Data validation proves that what loaded matches what was extracted. Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation proves that what loaded matches what the business actually owed, owned and owes — including the deltas that accumulated during the extract-to-cutover window, the period-end close cycles that ran during parallel-run, the inter-fund transfers that posted on the last day of the source month, the encumbrance carryovers that crossed the fiscal year, the payroll runs that processed during the parallel window, the Courts case-financial-obligations that changed during the cutover weekend, and the Energov permit revenue that posted overnight. Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation is the workstream that catches the delta between 'data loaded clean' and 'business reconciles clean'. The difference is the reason most consultant-led Tyler-to-Fusion programmes spend the first 6 months post go-live in 'stabilisation' instead of moving forward.

    How does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation handle the cutover-weekend delta?+

    The cutover-weekend delta is the single largest source of post-go-live reconciliation surprises in any Tyler-to-Fusion programme. The Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework treats the delta as a first-class workstream: every Munis journal posted during the cutover weekend is captured in a delta-extract, replayed into Fusion with explicit cutover-weekend tags, reconciled at row, sum and hash level against the source, and signed off by the County CFO before parallel-run-window-2 begins. Every payroll run that processed during the cutover weekend is captured and reconciled similarly. Every Courts case-financial-obligation change (new filing fees, payments-on-account, restitution-paid, fine-vacated, case-sealed) is captured and reconciled. Every Energov permit issued during the cutover weekend is captured and reconciled. The delta-extract evidence pack is signed before parallel-run-window-2 begins.

    What variance thresholds does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation apply?+

    Variance thresholds in Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation are tiered by domain and by GASB / GAAP materiality. Trial balance by fund: cent-level variance (anything above $0.00 flagged for investigation; anything above $0.01 requires root-cause; anything above the GASB / GAAP materiality threshold for the fund requires external auditor walkthrough before sign-off). Position control: zero-tolerance on position count and FTE; cent-level on encumbered budget; zero-tolerance on union code, civil service class and step/grade assignment. Payroll register: cent-level on every gross, net, deduction, benefit, garnishment and tax-withholding line. Courts case-financial-obligations: cent-level on every open case AR balance with case-number cross-reference. Attached binaries: zero-tolerance on file count; hash-equality required on every file. State-reporting integrations: zero-tolerance on every field included in the state-reporting submission.

    How does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation handle multi-month parallel-run cycles?+

    Multi-month parallel-run is a defining characteristic of any serious Tyler-to-Fusion programme. The Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework runs the same reconciliation harness every month for the duration of parallel-run (typically 2–3 months), with the source-side Munis trial balance, position control snapshot, Courts open-AR snapshot, Energov permit revenue snapshot, iNovah cashiering snapshot and state-reporting submission snapshot reconciled against the Fusion equivalents at each month-end. Cumulative variance trending is tracked so any drift between source and target is surfaced immediately. The County CFO, HR Director, Clerk of Court and external auditor each receive a monthly reconciliation pack with the period-over-period delta. Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation drives the decision on when to exit parallel-run — typically when three consecutive month-end reconciliations land with zero unexplained variance.

    Does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation cover federal grant compliance and SEFA?+

    Yes — federal grant compliance reconciliation is a dedicated workstream in any Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework where federally-funded programmes are in scope. The reconciliation engine compares the Munis Project/Grant accounting snapshot at cutover (every federally-funded project with CFDA / Assistance Listing number, sub-recipient monitoring records, Buy-America / Davis-Bacon evidence) against the Fusion Grants Management snapshot at the same cutover, with explicit project-cost tie-out per grant. The Single Audit Act SEFA (Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) is reconciled at the grant-line level for the cutover fiscal year. Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.334 retention obligations are documented per grant. The federal grant reviewer and the pass-through state agency liaison sign the Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation pack for federally-funded programmes before the first post-go-live grant draw is submitted.

    How does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation handle Courts Odyssey integration where Odyssey stays?+

    Most Tyler-to-Fusion programmes keep Courts Odyssey in production (Fusion is not a court case-management replacement) and move only the case-financial-obligation side to Fusion AR. The Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation framework treats the Odyssey-Fusion integration as a dedicated workstream: daily Odyssey case-financial-obligation streams to Fusion AR are reconciled at end-of-day, with case-number cross-reference preserved and CJIS-compliant access controls on sealed/juvenile case data. Reconciliation includes new filings (new AR), payments (cash applied), restitution received (cash applied with case-specific routing), fines vacated (AR credit), case-sealed (AR partitioned to sealed-record partition), expungement (AR removed from standard search but retained in expungement-aware partition). Clerk of Court signs the daily Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation pack as part of the standard end-of-day court-administration workflow.

    How long does Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation continue after go-live?+

    Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation continues for at least 12 months post go-live — typically 18–24 months for counties with complex federal grant portfolios, multi-year capital projects funded across multiple fiscal years, bond-financed projects with bond-counsel reporting obligations, or significant Courts case-financial-obligation volume. The reconciliation harness runs monthly through the first 12 months, quarterly through months 13–24, and annually thereafter as part of the standard GASB-aligned audit cycle. The first post-go-live external GASB audit is the most critical milestone: the Tyler Technologies migration reconciliation evidence pack from the cutover and parallel-run windows is the primary audit walkthrough. External audit firms uniformly report a 40–60% reduction in audit fieldwork hours when the structured reconciliation framework replaces ad-hoc tenant queries — and clean first-audit-cycle issuance of the unqualified opinion is the gold-standard outcome.
