The EnerGov® planning, permitting and licensing solution from
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has been selected by more than 60
government agencies since EnerGov
was acquired by Tyler less than two years ago. Tyler takes a partnership
approach with its clients, which includes EnerGov employees providing
all professional services, implementation and ongoing technical support
rather than outsourcing these critical duties to third parties as is
common with other software vendors.
In addition to earning dozens of new client relationships, EnerGov is
also winning contracts from some of the largest and most sophisticated
government agencies, including Kansas City, Missouri, which awarded
Tyler a contract valued at nearly $6 million to replace the city's aging
permitting software with EnerGov. Rather than trying to upgrade its
legacy system, the city conducted a competitive review to find a modern
and fully integrated solution provided by a sustainable vendor committed
to a partnership with the city, and ultimately partnered with EnerGov.
"We chose EnerGov for several reasons, including its intuitive,
state-of-the-art workflow capabilities that will assist in managing and
streamlining our complex business processes," said Kansas City Assistant
City Manager Rick Usher. "With its integrated use of mobile technology,
we see EnerGov as a modern system that will provide the most efficiency
and value to our citizens and staff."
For governments like Kansas City that value mobility, EnerGov introduced
the iGovernment concept with its iG Workforce suite of native apps
designed for the iPad® and other tablet devices. These mobile
apps let government workers manage case loads, inspections, code
enforcement and plan review processes anywhere, anytime. EnerGov's iG
apps have won the Esri® Mobile Application of the Year award.
Other significant new EnerGov relationships include the cities of
Charleston, South Carolina; Gilbert, Arizona; Henderson, Nevada; and
North Vancouver, British Columbia. The new client relationships that
EnerGov established in the second quarter of 2014 alone represent a 128
percent increase over the prior-year quarter. And, despite 95 percent of
available new contracts involving highly competitive RFPs, EnerGov has
won four of every five deals it has pursued in 2014. EnerGov software
suites are designed to automate and connect critical processes,
including land use planning and project review, permitting, licensing
and regulatory, inspections, code enforcement, citizen requests, public
maintenance and work order management.
New deals have also been driven by Tyler's evergreen philosophy, which
includes all related software updates and any required data migration as
part of annual maintenance fees; other software vendors typically charge
licensing fees, often significant ones, if clients want their software
updated. EnerGov also includes data conversion without costs additional
to the contract amount, and conducts that data conversion with Tyler's
EnerGov staff, not outsourced third parties.
"EnerGov's technical merits attract government agencies of all sizes,
but even more important to our clients is how Tyler takes a very client-
and services-centric approach to business," said Brett Cate, president
of Tyler's Local Government Division. "That partnering mentality is in
stark contrast to other vendors who hand off new clients to third
parties, often before the ink dries on their contract. Clients know that
Tyler will be there for them, shoulder-to-shoulder through
implementation, training and beyond. That, and our ongoing investment in
the EnerGov solution as a flagship Tyler product, presents significant
long-term sustainability and financial stability for our clients, and a
very strong ROI for their taxpayers."
