Tyler's Excellence Awards recognize organizations that demonstrate
excellence in deploying Tyler software in novel and impactful ways that
extend best practices. A panel of Tyler experts evaluated award
submissions and entries were judged on business value, maturity,
innovation and relevance to other public sector organizations.
Additional criteria met by award winners included:
-
Creating a unique process that utilizes a Tyler application
-
Realizing significant savings after implementing a Tyler product
-
Increasing staff productivity by implementing a Tyler product
-
Empowering employees, citizens or vendors
New Mexico's Bernalillo County Assessor's Office was awarded for
eliminating manual data entry processes and increasing participation
filing rates with iasWorld
eFile™, an electronic filing add-on module of the iasWorld CAMA™
(computer-assisted mass appraisal) solution. Once implemented, the
county reported a 35 percent increase in taxable business-equipment
report filings and reduced one day's work to one hour, allowing staff to
focus on data quality. Bernalillo County is home to Albuquerque, the
state's most populous city, and had more than 274,000 properties on the
county's 2014 assessment roll.
Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) in Georgetown, Texas, used Orion
in an innovative way for online homestead exemption filing. WCAD moved
its cumbersome paper application to an online environment, saving more
than three minutes per submission and $3,300 in related filing costs.
Tasks, such as sorting through mailed submissions, scanning applications
to Orion, and tracking and managing paper were all greatly reduced,
which contributed to the efficiencies that made online homestead
exemption filing a success. Georgetown had 192,000 properties on its
2014 assessment roll.
"Bernalillo County Assessor's Office and the Williamson Central
Appraisal District were selected for Tyler's Public Sector Excellence
Awards because they used technology to improve customer service and
create operational efficiencies," said Andrew D. Teed, president of
Tyler's Appraisal & Tax Division. "We're pleased to offer our yearly
user conference as a way for our forward-thinking clients to share best
practices with their public sector peers. Congratulations again to
Bernalillo County and Williamson Central Appraisal District for their
successes."
