Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with Kern
County, California, for Tyler's Odyssey®
integrated criminal justice (ICJ) solution. The agreement, valued at
approximately $5 million, includes software licenses, related
professional services, maintenance and support.
Odyssey will be implemented in four Kern County criminal justice
departments, including the Probation Department, District Attorney's
Office, Public Defender's Office and the Sheriff's Office jail. The
county's Odyssey ICJ agreement allows it to join the Kern Superior
Court's current Odyssey implementation project for criminal case
processing, which will be coordinated and conducted in parallel. With
the selection of Odyssey, Kern Superior Court and county justice
agencies will operate on a single platform that will significantly
streamline criminal justice processes and allow agencies to more
effectively share information with one another.
Tyler's Odyssey Jail Manager™ will be implemented within the Sheriff's
Office jail facilities and the Probation Department's juvenile detention
facilities. The system, which handles all aspects of inmate processing,
is built on an enterprisewide database and is designed to automatically
share information with fully integrated product centers within the
Odyssey suite. Odyssey Supervision™ is an integrated pretrial and
probation management system that will be implemented in the Probation
Department to address adult and juvenile probation processes. Odyssey
Attorney Manager™ will be implemented in both the Kern County District
Attorney's and Public Defender's offices to provide case tracking
features and secure electronic data sharing capabilities. Kern County
will also benefit from Tyler dataXchange™, which provides immediate
access to records and real-time information sharing across jurisdictions
and justice agencies.
"We are proud to have proven ourselves with California clients like Kern
to the point that they have confidence to expand their use of Odyssey.
Tyler has successfully implemented Odyssey on budget in six California
counties during the past 18 months, and has a dozen others scheduled to
go live later this year," said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts
& Justice Division. "Our integrated criminal justice approach has been
successful in Texas, Florida, Georgia and other states, and we are
excited about the opportunity to bring similar efficiencies to probation
departments, jails and prosecutors' offices in California."
Kern County has a population of approximately 864,000 and its current
jail facility houses more than 2,800 beds. The county is located at the
southern end of California's Central Valley, just north of Los Angeles
County, and its county seat is the city of Bakersfield.
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.
