Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that it has acquired
SceneDoc, Inc., a company that provides mobile-first,
software-as-a-service (SaaS) field reporting for law enforcement
agencies.
"We are pleased to add SceneDoc to the Tyler family, enhancing our
public safety offerings through a mobile-first approach," said Lynn
Moore, president and chief executive officer of Tyler. "Public safety
continues to embrace new approaches and tools which keep officers
engaged with their communities, and this aligns well with Tyler's vision
for empowering smarter, safer, and more vibrant communities. We believe
the addition of SceneDoc to our best-in-class product portfolio will
address the evolving needs of the jurisdictions we serve, from small
municipalities to large counties."
Smartphones, tablets, wearables, and task-specific apps are quickly
becoming first responders' primary tools for communicating in the field.
To address this growing market trend within law enforcement, SceneDoc
enables field capture of data, electronic notes, and multi-media from
these devices with secure storage and access to and from the cloud. The
set of features differentiating SceneDoc from other solutions includes:
-
Mobile-first design and optimization for smartphones, tablets, and
wearables
-
Voice-to-text capabilities, which allow easy capture of notes and
helps keep the officer's eyes on their surroundings
-
Simple navigation and a responsive design
-
Flexible capture and sharing of assets such as pictures, audio, video,
and text
-
Capability to upload information to the cloud in real-time, allowing
dispatchers, commanders, and other officers to respond to information
accordingly
"We are excited at the opportunity to join Tyler Technologies and
further enhance Tyler's presence in the public safety market through our
solution," said Alex Kottoor, co-founder and CEO of SceneDoc. "Our
vision for technology in this particular market, combined with our
company culture, aligns well with Tyler's, and we look forward to
leveraging our new resources to serve even more law enforcement agencies
and their communities."
For Tyler, the acquisition of SceneDoc reinforces Tyler as a market
leader in mobile-first public safety software. The cloud-based
deployment of SceneDoc also minimizes implementation costs and ensures
that clients are using the latest product releases. For SceneDoc, the
acquisition will help them expand their well-established field reporting
software to many more law enforcement agencies across the U.S. by
leveraging Tyler's client base and sales organization.
Founded in 2011, SceneDoc is based in the Canadian city of Mississauga,
Ontario, and employs 18 people. SceneDoc management and staff will
become part of Tyler's Public Safety Division, and its employees are
expected to remain in their current locations. Kottoor and co-founder
Adrian Bubalo will also join Tyler as general managers.
