Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today a
software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreement with the Ohio Court of Claims for
Tyler's Odyssey Case Manager™, Odyssey File & Serve™
and Guide & File™ solutions. This agreement represents
Tyler's first Odyssey client in the state of Ohio.
The Ohio Court of Claims has exclusive jurisdiction over all civil
claims for money damages brought against all state departments, boards,
offices, commissioners, agencies, institutions, and state colleges and
universities. The court is located in Columbus, and civil case types
range from contract disputes to property damage to personal injury. The
Ohio Court of Claims also hears appeals from Attorney General decisions
regarding claims filed under the Victims of Crime Compensation Program.
Due to recent state legislation giving the court jurisdiction over
controversies regarding public records requests, the number of cases is
expected to increase. In order to handle the anticipated increase, the
Ohio Court of Claims turned to Tyler to replace a legacy in-house system
and to streamline their case filing processes.
"We were concerned about being equipped to provide additional services
to Ohio citizens through our singular court location in Columbus, given
the expected increase in cases," said Mark Reed, Clerk of the Ohio Court
of Claims. "Through this agreement, we will be able to simplify our
filing processes and increase access to justice for our citizens.
The court will use Odyssey to support electronic signatures and
electronic notifications, and will also allow citizens to easily file
cases online. Once e-filing has been established, Tyler will implement
Odyssey Case Manager for the court, integrating both software solutions
and tracking all aspects of the court, from basic functions to advanced
case management abilities.
"We're very pleased to extend our justice software expertise into Ohio
with the Ohio Court of Claims," said Jeff Puckett, president of Tyler's
Courts & Justice Division. "Our software is uniquely positioned to help
the court seamlessly transition information and handle the increase in
filings in the near future."
