Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that Shelby County,
Tenn., has chosen Tyler's Odyssey® court case
management system to modernize and streamline court processes. Shelby
County will benefit from enhanced digital services that enable more
efficient operations and a more user-friendly experience for the legal
community and the general public. The multi-year contract includes
software licenses, implementation and support.
With approximately 1 million residents, Shelby County is Tennessee's
largest county by population, and is home to Memphis, the state's most
populated city. The county cited several reasons for choosing Odyssey,
including the system's maturity, ease of use and success in complex
county and statewide implementations, Tyler's evergreen philosophy of
including all future Odyssey updates as part of the annual maintenance
agreement, and the long-term stability of Tyler as a company.
Odyssey will be applied to Shelby County's General Sessions Criminal
Division and Criminal Courts - which together process approximately
278,000 filings annually - as well as the county's Pre-Trial Services
Division and Supervision Unit. Odyssey replaces the county's aging
in-house system, which was deployed in 1996. Shelby County also was
attracted to Odyssey because it's a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
software solution requiring little to no customization. Automated
processes will enable the county to move from manual, labor-intensive
tasks to a system that integrates with multiple agencies and provides
easy access to records for courts personnel and Shelby County residents.
Shelby County chose Odyssey through a competitive bidding process, and
its evaluation committee included judges, IT personnel and
administrators, many of whom visited Odyssey customer Clark County,
Nev., home to Las Vegas, to see the system in action.
"We're excited to be a part of this major upgrade to the Shelby County
courts system," said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts & Justice
Division. "Shelby County has made an important decision that we believe
will benefit its courts, residents and the broader judicial community
for many years to come. We are eager to begin a long-term relationship
with Shelby County."
In total, Odyssey has been selected for use in more than 500 counties in
19 states, serving more than 75 million residents. Odyssey has been
successfully deployed statewide in Indiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota; statewide implementations in
Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington are currently under way.
Shelby County is an existing Tyler client, having earlier this year
signed a contract for the Versatrans® student transportation
management solution, part of Tyler's integrated software solutions for
the K-12 school market. Shelby County has the 14th largest school
district in the U.S. The county also uses Tyler's iasWorld®
appraisal and tax solution.
