Tyler's Eden
2015 Excellence Award winner is the city of Pittsburg, California.
Pittsburg collaborated with Eden development to offer an online utility
payment option for customers to increase customer convenience and
provide better service. The city was able to place a payment kiosk in
Pittsburg Book Depot that resulted in increased payments during a city
furlough. Pittsburg has a population of 66,700 and is located in eastern
Contra Costa County.
Tyler's Munis
2015 Excellence Award winners are Floyd County, Georgia; the District
School Board of Pasco County, Florida; and Boulder City, Nevada.
Floyd County, a Munis user since 1999, turned to Tyler Notify™ for help
with the water department's communication efforts. Tyler Notify
integrates with Munis, and the county used the communication platform
with its utility billing module to connect with customers. After
implementation, monthly disconnections due to nonpayment decreased 45
percent. Floyd County has a population of 95,800 and its county seat is
Rome.
The District School Board of Pasco County implemented a new accounts
payable process using Munis and Tyler Content Manager™ affecting more
than 800 purchasing cards and 4,000 transactions per month. The district
set up a streamlined process that allowed each department to import and
attach original receipts to their accounts payable request, and to route
the reports through the correct approval process and storage. The
documents are available online at any time and the district has realized
a savings from a reduction in paper costs. The District School Board of
Pasco County has 9,500 employees and a student population of 71,000.
Boulder City's parks and recreation department implemented Tyler Parks &
Rec™ to eliminate manual, paper-based processes and move scheduling
online. Tyler Parks & Rec is both an administrative portal to manage
business details and an external Web portal to improve public access to
recreation programs. Boulder City is approximately 26 miles southeast of
Las Vegas and has a population of 15,200.
The national Tyler
SIS 2015 Excellence Award winner is Virginia's Prince George County
Public Schools, a Tyler client since 2009. The district selected Tyler
SIS and Tyler Pulse™ to integrate with its other Tyler school solutions,
and piloted the Tyler Special Ed™ solution. With Tyler Special Ed, the
district saw an immediate benefit from the complete integration of
student data, which increased the efficiency of its Individualized
Education Plan (IEP) program. Prince George County Public Schools has
900 employees and 6,250 students across nine schools.
Indiana's Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Lawrence Township is the Versatrans
2015 Excellence Award winner. MSD of Lawrence Township, a Tyler client
since 2006, was trying to find a way to use resources more effectively
and balance the transportation department budget. The district used
Versatrans to run reports and analyze data, resulting in a reduction of
approximately 10 percent of bus routes without a loss in service because
of improved route timeliness. MSD of Lawrence Township is located in
Indianapolis and has a student enrollment of 15,375.
Tyler Excellence Award winners were honored May 4 at the Connect 2015
user conference in Atlanta, where they were presented with the award and
given the opportunity to share their best practices and lessons learned
with their public sector peers.
"Tyler's Public Sector Excellence Awards program is our chance to
publicly recognize clients who embrace our technology to solve unique
problems at their district or municipality," said Chris Hepburn, senior
vice president of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "Feedback from our most
innovative clients further enhances the experience for all users of

Awards."
