Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with Harris
County, Texas, to implement Tyler's Odyssey®
court case management system in 16 justice of the peace courts. Odyssey
will replace the courts' legacy system for all case types, including
civil, criminal and traffic as well as various magisterial functions and
administrative proceedings. Harris County is the third most populous
county in the U.S., with 4.2 million residents, and is home to the city
of Houston.
The 16 Harris County Justice Courts operate as a high-volume system and
require a powerful yet flexible court case management system like
Odyssey. The system will serve approximately 400 users, including up to
250 concurrent users during peak periods. Together, the 16 Harris County
Justice Courts form one of the largest justice of the peace
jurisdictions in the U.S., accepting more than 500,000 new case filings
each year.
In addition to core Odyssey functionality Harris County chose to
implement Odyssey SessionWorks® Judge and Clerk editions to
streamline high-volume courts and present case information on the bench
via touch-screen technology. Tyler's public access portal will provide
case records and court dockets via the Justice Courts website, and will
integrate with the county's existing e-commerce system for online
payments of fines, fees and court costs.
Odyssey also met Harris County's objective of finding a turnkey court
case management system that allows modifications while still easily
integrating with existing applications.
"Odyssey is a very strong product today, and Tyler's commitment to an
evergreen approach of advancing it in the future creates significant
advantages for Harris County," said Bret Dixon, chief operating officer
of Tyler's Courts & Justice Division. "Additionally, Tyler's successful
track record of completing large and complex implementations offered
tremendous value and peace of mind to the county's decision-makers."
Tyler has proven its ability to meet similar needs in complex projects,
including statewide Odyssey implementations and other high-volume
jurisdictions such as Clark County, Nevada, home to Las Vegas, as well
as Miami-Dade County. Odyssey was also recently selected by the Los
Angeles Superior Court, which is the largest court system in the U.S.
In total, Odyssey serves more than 100 million residents, a third of the
U.S. population, in more than 600 counties across 21 states. Odyssey has
been successfully deployed statewide in Indiana, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota; statewide
implementations in Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington
are currently underway.
