Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced a new offering in
partnership with the Sonoma County Clerk and Recorder's Office in
California, which is using Tyler's Eagle Recorder™ software
to electronically print staff signatures on marriage licenses. Sonoma
County is leading the charge in making this offering possible because of
Eagle Recorder's robust and intuitive capabilities.
Over the past several months, the Sonoma County Clerk and Recorder's
Office has led a pilot program in collaboration with the California
Department of Public Health to print marriage licenses with digitized
signatures of the issuing and registering clerks, thereby automating a
once manual process. Sonoma is the first county in California to begin
offering this service for county staff.
"Having the ability to digitize signatures on marriage licenses has
removed the occasional issue where someone forgets to sign, which may
cause a problem down the road. Our staff loves it, and now the state
does, too," said Deva Proto, chief deputy county clerk-recorder for
Sonoma County. "With this new capability, we're able to create a more
efficient process in our office and minimize errors."
Sonoma County first implemented Tyler's Eagle Recorder in 2014, which
initially allowed marriage application forms to be filled out
electronically. The solution also tracked real estate records and vital
records such as birth and death records, and it processed a number of
clerk documents. Ms. Proto and the Sonoma County Clerk and Recorder's
Office approached Tyler with the idea of implementing electronic
signature capture on marriage licenses.
"If a clerk signature gets missed or is left off of a license, it is an
expensive, time-intensive process to correct. Eagle Recorder enables us
to link an employee's signature to their account profile so they are the
only one who can use it. The digital signatures had to be under the
control of the issuing employee, unmodifiable and password protected, as
well as tracked by the system before the state would go let us go
forward with the pilot program. Eagle Recorder makes all of this
possible," said Ms. Proto.
Due to the success of the pilot program with Sonoma County, the
California Department of Public Health has now authorized all counties
in California to put staff signatures on the marriage licenses
electronically.
"It was clear at the outset of our relationship that Sonoma County is a
very forward-looking group, and they have truly maximized the impact of
Tyler's Eagle Recorder software with this new offering," said Andy Teed,
president of Tyler's Enterprise Group. "We're thrilled to see other
counties in California take notice of this innovative use of Eagle
Recorder, and we hope that others will soon adopt this practice, making
the process of capturing staff signatures easier, more automated and
easy to audit as part of the workflow."
Tyler's Eagle Recorder has a strong and growing presence in California
with 11 counties using the solution, including Riverside, the 11th
largest county in the U.S. Nationwide, Eagle Recorder is used in more
than 288 counties across 23 states. Sonoma County also benefits from
other Tyler solutions, including AES California™ for
appraisal and tax, and SoftCode™ and Odyssey® for
Sonoma Superior Court management.
