Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that Gwinnett
County, Georgia, and the Metropolitan Court Clerks Association have
selected Tyler's Odyssey
eFileGATM solution to provide a unified electronic filing
platform under a master services agreement (MSA). Any Georgia court may
use the MSA to procure Tyler's e-filing solution.
Odyssey eFileGA allows attorneys and other parties doing business with
the courts to file cases, pleadings, motions and other documents online
without having to travel to a physical court location. In addition to
Gwinnett County, the rapidly growing number of Georgia counties that
have selected eFileGA includes Bibb, Chatham, Cherokee, Clayton, DeKalb,
Douglas, Floyd, Fulton, Rockdale, Glynn State Court and Houston State
Court.
"We selected Tyler Technologies because of the company's unmatched track
record in providing integrated e-filing solutions for court systems for
all court sizes regardless of volume. Most important, the Tyler e-filing
solution is compatible with any case management system, as it is
Web-based. Our goal is to provide one common platform for all attorneys
to use for all filings - in the metro area and across Georgia," said
Richard T. Alexander Jr., Gwinnett County Clerk of Courts and President
of the Metropolitan Court Clerks Association. "The master services
agreement provides uniformity to court filers and helps ensure that
state requirements have been met. We are excited about the opportunity
to drive economic, environmental and technological change in courts
across the metropolitan Atlanta area and Georgia, and we invite any
court in Georgia to join eFileGA."
Odyssey eFileGA is delivered as a Tyler-hosted solution and allows users
to file documents with the courts 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
As part of Tyler's e-filing solution, courts can provide payment
services securely online.
"Tyler has worked hard to broaden partnerships within Georgia's judicial
communities, and the new agreement with the Metropolitan Court Clerks
Association means Tyler's e-filing system now connects half of the
state's population with one unified system," said Bruce Graham,
president of Tyler's Courts & Justice Division. "Odyssey eFileGA
requires no out-of-pocket expenses for counties and quickly provides
efficiencies for courts, lawyers and clerks. We are proud that the
Metropolitan Court Clerks Association determined that eFileGA was the
best platform for their customers, and we believe their criteria and
selection process could be a good model for other Georgia judicial
systems that are considering e-filing solutions."
The Georgia Council of Magistrate Court Judges also selected Odyssey
eFileGA and is the first in the state to expand access to justice by
offering Tyler's Odyssey Guide & File solution, which helps
self-represented litigants with the self-service filing process via a
simple-to-use Web portal. Tyler's Odyssey e-filing platform currently
processes almost 1 million filings per month and provides support for
300,000 e-filing users nationwide. The state of Texas recently
implemented Tyler's Odyssey software and hosted infrastructure for its
mandatory e-filing platform called eFileTexas.govTM.
