The Missouri Office of Administration has awarded a contract for a
student information system solution to Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:
TYL). Under the agreement, Missouri school districts can purchase Tyler
SIS, also known in Missouri as SISK12, at a negotiated rate from the
state contract without going through their own time-consuming request
for proposal (RFP) process.
Additionally, school districts that purchase off the contract may choose
optional Tyler products for student transportation, special education,
food service, information warehousing and financial and human resource
management.
"The evaluation team chose Tyler SIS because of Tyler Technologies'
experience in Missouri and current work with both small and large
districts," said Leigh Ann Grant-Engle, assistant commissioner of the
Office of Data System Management for the Missouri Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education. "Tyler SIS has many years of
experience with our state- and federal-level reporting requirements.
That experience will help Missouri school districts be more efficient
and give them additional time to spend with students, staff and parents."
The agreement with the Missouri Office of Administration requires Tyler
Technologies to establish a Missouri SIS User Group, which will function
as a statewide advisory panel for Tyler's SIS solution. The purpose of
the user group is to identify needs of participating districts
specifically related to training and technical assistance, and detail
any modifications needed to aid in the performance of Tyler SIS.
"Tyler SIS is a proven, mature student information system that provides
students, parents and teachers with simple, intuitive functionality,"
said Nick Botonis, president of Tyler SIS. "Tyler has more than 30 local
development, implementation and support staff and many active user
groups in Missouri. We are committed to providing Missouri school
districts with the tools they need to ensure success."
