Dallas, July 14, 2009 -- Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a $2.5 million agreement to provide Collin County, Texas, with additional Tyler integrated justice software solutions. The addition of these products to the County's current Tyler applications will result in an end-to-end solution that manages the data and workflow of each case from arrest through disposition.
Under the latest agreement, Collin County has contracted with Tyler to implement Odyssey® Jail Manager and Law Enforcement products, along with related professional services. The Collin County Sheriff's Office will use Odyssey Jail Manager to ease inmate processing, tracking and reporting. Odyssey Law Enforcement will be deployed by constable precincts and the Sheriff's Office for tracking and serving civil papers.
"With these new products, Collin County expects to streamline our criminal justice operations, because the new software will integrate seamlessly with Tyler's Odyssey Case Manager, which we've used since 2006," said Caren Skipworth, director of information technology for Collin County. "We'll be able to serve the public faster by automating many manual processes between the jail and court system, including indigent defense, bonds, warrants and final sentencing."
"Collin County operates a progressive jail, marked by innovative corrections and inmate management programs," explained Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts & Justice division. "Tyler is committed to long-term, collaborative relationships with our clients, and we value Collin County's leadership in integrated justice and their continued trust in Tyler solutions."
Skipworth said Collin County also expects to reduce paper use through the document management and workflow functions built into Tyler's solution. Additionally, the County will save further development costs by sharing Tyler software modifications with other counties in the Common Integrated Justice Systems (CIJS) program of the Texas Conference of Urban Counties (CUC).
As a CUC member, the County first adopted Tyler's Odyssey Case Manager software in 2006 under the software license agreement signed that same year between Tyler and the CUC. Additionally, the County contracted in 2006 to implement the Odyssey Prosecutor application. The CUC is a non-profit organization consisting of 35 counties across the state, and accounting for approximately 80 percent of the state's population.
Collin County is home to nearly 760,000 residents and covers 886 square miles of north Texas. The county ranks as the sixth most populous in the state and is among the 100 most populous counties in the United States. Located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Collin County is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation and includes the cities of Plano, McKinney and Frisco.
