Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that Webb County,
Texas, has gone live with Tyler's Odyssey® court case
management system. The case management software combines advanced
functionality with ease-of-use that will allow the county to better
track all aspects of court management. In addition, the public
defender's office is live with Odyssey Attorney Manager™, and
the pretrial services division is live with Odyssey Supervision™,
Case Manager™ and Jail Manager™.
By using multiple Odyssey solutions within its software suite, the
various departments of the county will be able to seamlessly communicate
case information with one another. Improvements for the county include
electronic filing, electronic citations, and an upcoming interface for
the district attorney's office. The implementation has allowed the
district clerk's office in Webb County to digitize financial assessments
and collections, which were previously all tracked on paper. This
transition to a paperless system has also automated state reporting and
increased overall accuracy while also saving the county time and money.
"The enhancements provided by Odyssey allow the court system in Webb
County to share information across departments and divisions, resulting
in staff having increased access to data and more efficient processes,"
said Hon. Joe Lopez, Texas State District Judge for the 49th
Judicial District. "Tyler's experienced team has also helped make the
implementation process run as smoothly as possible for both county
employees and citizens."
In total, more than 600 public servants will utilize the software in
Webb County including the offices of the district and county clerks, the
jail, six JP courts, the District and County courts, Pretrial Services
and the Public Defender. Within the JP courts, the department of public
safety citation integration with Odyssey eliminated a large amount of
manual data entry. Using Odyssey to electronically share information
between the court and all these agencies, and especially the jail, helps
make all groups more efficient, reduces errors, and increases the speed
at which justice is served.
"Tyler is delighted to bring another client live with an efficient and
transparent integrated justice system that helps connect their
community," said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts & Justice
Division. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with Webb
County as they reduce costs with a fully unified solution."
Tyler's Odyssey solution is being used successfully in more than 900
counties across 24 states, covering more than 100 million people.
Laredo, Texas, is the county seat, which has a population of 250,000. It
is also one of the oldest border crossing points along the U.S.-Mexico
border.
