Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that it has signed an
agreement with the Ohio Court of Claims for Tyler's Modria
online dispute resolution (ODR) solution. Modria will soon be integrated
with Tyler's existing solutions used by the Ohio Court of Claims,
including Odyssey Case Manager™ and Odyssey File & Serve™.
In 2016, the Ohio legislature passed a law granting the court statewide
jurisdiction over public records requests. With one physical court
location in Columbus, the Ohio Court of Claims realized they needed
support to handle these requests that could potentially be generated
from any of the 88 counties in the state.
"Our experience with Tyler's Odyssey Case Manager and e-filing solutions
makes us confident Tyler will leverage their court implementation track
record as well as Modria's 20 years of ODR expertise to deliver a strong
software solution," said Mark Reed, clerk of court, Ohio Court of
Claims. "Online dispute resolution will help us manage our case load,
and provide self-represented litigants across the state improved access
to justice. We also look forward to streamlined workflows gained from
integration between Modria and Odyssey."
The Ohio Court of Claims selected Tyler's Modria solution to provide an
easy, online process for managing mediations resulting from public
records requests. Modria provides online dispute resolution for courts
with an efficient, automated way to handle large volumes of disputes. It
helps to reduce the number of cases that need to be heard, allowing
courts to deploy valuable resources to more complex cases. Unlike recent
entrants to the market, Modria is an authentic ODR solution built from
the ground up by the founders of the industry; it combines law,
economics and psychology to help citizens resolve their disputes, and
can cut case resolution time by more than 50 percent.
Self-represented litigants will benefit from online dispute resolution
because they will no longer need to physically visit the Ohio Court of
Claims' location in Columbus for mediations. The court staff will also
save valuable time and resources by being able to handle these processes
online.
"The Ohio Court of Claims took a mandate from the legislature and turned
it into an opportunity to better serve their community. Through Tyler's
Modria online dispute resolution software, the court will be able to
automate mediations and create efficiency for their entire court staff,"
said Jamie Gillespie, general manager of Online Dispute Resolution for
Tyler. "We look forward to implementing Modria and are excited that the
Ohio Court of Claims recognizes the enormous benefits of having Tyler's
three Odyssey solutions working together, helping them manage their
public records requests in the most efficient way possible."
Tyler acquired Modria in May 2017 to complement its courts and justice
and appraisal and tax solutions. Modria is the world's leading ODR
product, whose founders created the ODR systems at eBay and PayPal that
process 60 million cases per year.
