Tyler
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today the Fulton County
Magistrate Court has successfully gone live with Tyler's Modria® online
dispute resolution (ODR) software. Fulton County, which includes
Atlanta, is the first court in Georgia to use this innovative
technology. Modria allows parties involved in a lawsuit to engage with
each other directly to reach a resolution without coming to court. The
court will use Modria to help resolve small claims cases by providing
citizen access to a step-by-step online process.
"Fulton County is the most populous county in the state of Georgia and,
if you've ever been to Atlanta, you know the traffic affects everyone.
Avoiding going to the courthouse will save court users valuable time,"
said Cassandra Kirk, chief judge of Fulton County Magistrate Court.
"We've never offered a software solution like Modria, so this is truly
an exciting time for our court. This option for online dispute
resolution will provide easier access to justice for people across all
incomes and demographics"
Tyler's Modria solution will also save the court and citizens money.
Besides small claims cases, it offers the workflows and communication
tools necessary to facilitate any kind of resolution, from simple debt
disputes to complex family and custody cases. Its intuitive user
experience is designed to resolve issues in a fast and efficient manner
while providing a fair and transparent process for all participants. If
parties cannot solve their dispute online, they still have the option to
appear before a judge.
"We've seen success using Modria in other counties in the country. In
some courts we have seen 68 percent of party-to-party negotiations being
resolved online with Modria, and we expect fantastic results in Fulton
County as well," said Jamie Gillespie, general manager of Tyler's Modria
solution. "This software really makes a difference for both citizens and
the court. Fulton County is a longtime client of Tyler Technologies, and
we look forward to expanding Modria to other types of cases soon."
Tyler's Modria solution continues to expand its presence across the
country. Modria clients include counties in Nevada and Texas, and other
states will soon partner with Tyler to use the solution. Tyler provides
Fulton County with additional courts and justice solutions including its
e-filing platform, eFileGA™, as well as its case management system,
Odyssey®, and case data and document portal, re:Search®GA. Fulton County
also uses Tyler's Socrata® Connected Government Cloud data solution, as
well as iasWorld® appraisal and tax software CLT Appraisal Services™
mass appraisal services.
