Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that Yamhill
County, Ore., has successfully piloted Tyler's Odyssey®court
case management solution. The State of Oregon selected Odyssey in
2011 for statewide implementation supporting state trial courts in each
of Oregon's 36 counties.
Odyssey
was selected to help meet the Oregon Judicial Department's eCourt goal
of using technology to streamline court processes, reduce costs from
handling and storing paper files, provide around-the-clock access to
court information, and provide better information for judicial
decision-making. Yamhill County, centrally located between the cities of
Portland and Salem, was up and running on Odyssey within one year.
"This was an incredible team effort between local court staff, the
Department's training and IT staff and Tyler Technologies' staff to be
live in one year, and it validates our team approach to implementation,"
said Scott Smith, Oregon eCourt Program Director. "We chose Tyler
because we had a high degree of confidence in the company and its
solutions, and we are pleased with the results from our first pilot
court. Having Tyler staff on the ground during implementation and
go-live was a critical element in identifying issues and quickly
correcting them. We are confident that this process will result in
continued success as we roll out Odyssey to more counties."
Odyssey has replaced a 25-year-old court case management system at
Yamhill County. More than 350,000 cases, 274,000 documents and 1,300
warrants were converted to Odyssey during the implementation phase to
move the court toward a paper-on-demand courtroom.
"The successful Odyssey go-live in Yamhill County is the result of a
proven, repeatable and highly reliable implementation process that Tyler
has honed during six statewide Odyssey deployments and installations in
more than 400 large and small counties nationwide," said Bruce Graham,
president of Tyler's Courts & Justice Division. "Tyler's experience
combined with the commitment of judiciaries like Oregon's and its
counties creates efficient, digital courtrooms that we believe all court
administrators, judges and attorneys want."
Tyler has successfully deployed Odyssey statewide in Indiana, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as in
counties in eight other states. Clients include large sophisticated
counties, such as Miami-Dade and Clark County Nevada (Las Vegas), as
well as counties with populations as small as 25,000. The state of
Maryland selected Odyssey in October 2011 and is currently being
implemented in Anne Arundel County. Including Maryland and Oregon,
Odyssey will serve approximately 450 counties with a combined population
of more than 50 million.
