Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement with Maui
County, Hawaii, for Tyler's EnerGovTM
planning, regulatory and maintenance platform. The agreement includes
software licenses, implementation, project management and support.
EnerGov will become an integral part of the Maui Automated Planning and
Permitting System (MAPPS) project, replacing a legacy solution that is
no longer modern enough to meet the county's objectives, which include
improving productivity and efficiencies within and across departments,
centralizing operations and enhancing customer experience.
The county chose Tyler and EnerGov for several reasons, including the
company's public sector experience and EnerGov's long track record of
successfully implementing its platform in municipalities that are
similar in size and complexity to Maui County.
EnerGov will help Maui County centralize its geospatial data by
developing a countywide GIS data repository to support county land
management and other processes. As part of the project, EnerGov will
team with long-time partner Esri®, whose industry-leading
geographic information system (GIS)
platform is infused into EnerGov.
"Maui County is now poised as a model county for those governments
seeking to be a smart community. Esri, which is the leading geographic
information systems provider and longtime partner of Tyler Technologies,
is pleased to be part of a project that will improve the overall
efficiency and productivity of Maui's land management and permitting
processes," said Esri Director of Government Markets Christopher Thomas.
As a modern permitting and land management platform, EnerGov will help
the county automate permit submission, processing and workflows, as well
as provide electronic plan reviews. As part of the MAPPS project,
EnerGov will also deliver citizen self-service, reduce manual data
entry, and give county staff mobile capabilities so they can work from
the field.
"The MAPPS project exemplifies what Maui County is all about, which is
smartly and efficiently managing our resources, and by adding modern and
integrated technology like EnerGov we're being true to the spirit of
Maui and its residents," said Maui County Managing Director Keith Regan.
"EnerGov will not only help the county streamline its permitting and
planning, but the system will also make things easier on our residents
who no longer need to come to the county office for their building
permits because with EnerGov they can see them online. That saves our
customers the time and expense of driving to the county offices."
EnerGov will help Maui County deliver on its overall efficiency and
service objectives, while also meeting its primary technology goal of
designing and implementing a centralized GIS solution to integrate the
use of geospatial data and infrastructure with the permitting and
planning system. The county will also benefit from Tyler's evergreen
perpetual licensing approach that provides regular and significant, yet
manageable, software enhancements without an additional relicensing fee,
ensuring all systems are using the latest technology.
"We look forward to EnerGov playing a central role to the county's MAPPS
project and helping the county create a great customer experience while
working more efficiently enterprisewide," said Brett Cate, president of
Tyler's Local Government Division. "As a flagship Tyler product, EnerGov
gives the county significant long-term sustainability and financial
stability, and with our evergreen philosophy, EnerGov delivers a very
strong ROI for the county and its taxpayers."
Maui County is unique due to its large percentage of rental vacation
homes and the tourism industry, which combine to make real estate a
primary driver of revenue and commerce. With more than 160,000
residents, Maui County consists of the islands of Maui, Lanai,
Kahoolawe, Molokini and part of Molokai. The county is included in the
Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina statistical area, with Wailuku serving as the
county seat. The visitor industry is Maui County's leading economic
sector, with approximately 80 percent of every dollar generated directly
or indirectly by this critical industry. The county also uses Tyler's
iasWorld® appraisal and tax software.
