Palmetto Bay used Eden and Tyler Cashiering to recoup lost revenue from
credit card processing fees; TCOMM 911 reduced payroll errors and
improved customer service with Eden's human resource applications; and
Asotin County used Eden's OSDBA (operating system and database
administration) support services to save thousands in employee costs.
Barrow County School System used Munis and Tyler Pulse to provide
educators with data and track student results; Queen Creek reigned in
its purchasing costs with the Munis purchasing card program, which
allowed staff to import data daily; and Contra Costa COE improved
overall efficiencies of its central check processing system with Munis.
Mission CISD invested in the Tyler SIS e-learning platform making it
mandatory for all new teachers to complete training of Tyler SIS before
the start of the school year, resulting in improved data accuracy and
access to information. Joplin Schools was awarded for its use of
Versatrans following the catastrophic tornado that struck the city of
Joplin on May 22, 2011. The district used Versatrans to plan routes
around destroyed or missing addresses and landmarks after the initial
crisis and, most recently, to eliminate the extra buses and routes that
were required to deal with the aftermath of the tornado.
Tyler Excellence Award winners were honored Monday, April 14, at the
Tyler Connect 2014 user conference in San Antonio where they were
presented with the award and given the opportunity to share their best
practices and lessons learned with their public sector peers. Winners
were also offered an expense paid trip for one to the conference.
"Tyler's Public Sector Excellence Awards program is our chance to
publicly recognize clients who embrace our technology and use our
solutions to solve unique problems at their district, agency or
municipality," said Chris Hepburn, senior vice president of Tyler's ERP
& School Division. "Feedback from our most innovative clients further
enhances the experience for all users of Tyler product suites, and we're
proud to offer a forum like Tyler's Connect user conference where our
clients can share real-world successes with their peers. Congratulations
to all the winners of Tyler's Excellence Awards."
