Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) signed a $6.9 million agreement with
Clayton County, Georgia, for Tyler's Odyssey solution. The Tyler
Alliance project includes Odyssey Case Manager™, Odyssey
Jail Manager™, Odyssey Attorney Manager™, Odyssey
Supervision™, and Odyssey Jury™, as well as Brazos™
eCitations and Tyler Eagle™.
After more than twenty years of using an in-house developed solution,
Clayton County leadership required an updated case management system to
manage its growing caseload and technology needs. The county selected
Tyler because Odyssey is an end-to-end justice solution and has a strong
presence in the Metro-Atlanta area, with 10 metro clients using Odyssey.
The county was also familiar with Tyler's expertise in the public
sector, having partnered with Tyler on eFileGA since 2014.
"We look forward to bringing greater access to justice through Tyler's
fully integrated solution, as well as having the ability to share
information with our justice partners at the jail and probation officers
as well as with other courts in the Metro-Atlanta area," said Detrick
Stanford, Clayton County chief operating officer.
Odyssey Case Manager will manage all case types for the Superior, State,
Magistrate and Probate courts. It will provide financial and document
management, and includes a suite of Odyssey e-solutions, such as Odyssey
ePayment Manager™, Odyssey Portal™, and Odyssey
Guide & File™. The suite of solutions will enhance access
to justice for the county's constituents, allowing self-represented
litigants to file and retrieve information about their own cases
electronically.
This project will utilize Tyler Alliance to share information across
departments, agencies and jurisdictions. Tyler Alliance is a
multi-agency, distributed platform that integrates public safety and
criminal justice systems. The Odyssey solution will manage data as soon
as it is entered into the jail and will flow seamlessly between product
centers across the Odyssey platform. Odyssey Jail Manager will securely
manage inmate information at Clayton County's jail with advanced
solutions for pretrial services. Information will move to the
prosecuting offices and through the courts with minimal data reentry. On
the bench, judges will have the tools to review, write, and sign
documents electronically. Finally, Odyssey Supervision will be used to
assist with Clayton's in-house probation services. The criminal justice
process will be greatly enhanced through these processes.
Additionally, Clayton County and all Georgia courts using Odyssey will
benefit through another component of Tyler Alliance: Tyler dataXchange™.
This tool allows the criminal justice information services (CJIS)
community to communicate and share information in real time, across
jurisdictions. These clients include six contiguous counties: Clayton,
Fulton, DeKalb, Forsyth, Rockdale, and Spalding, ultimately connecting
roughly a quarter of Georgia's population through these Metro-Atlanta
courts.
"We're eager to bring a fully integrated solution to Clayton County to
help them manage the flow of information in the county more
efficiently," said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts & Justice
Division. "We are confident these solutions will not only assist in
helping constituents, but also will make communication easier with
fellow courts in Georgia."
