TYLER TECHNOLOGIES SIGNS ODYSSEY COURTS SYSTEM CONTRACT WITH LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA |
Dallas, Texas—Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that the Lee County Clerk of the Court in Lee County, Florida has signed a contract for the implementation of Tyler’s Odyssey Case Management system. Tyler will provide software and implementation services throughout the multiyear project. Lee County’s Odyssey project will begin with the automation of civil case types this year, followed by criminal and traffic cases beginning in 2003. With the signing of its second contract for the system, Tyler continues to build on the successful launch of Odyssey, the first completely new, Web-based case management system available to the local government marketplace.
“Signing our second Odyssey contract so quickly following the launch order last month from the State of Minnesota demonstrates that our marketing plan is on track,” said Glenn Smith, President of Tyler’s Courts and Justice Division. “The level of interest in Odyssey among prospective clients in our target market remains very high, as local governments nationwide are recognizing the long-term value that Odyssey offers.”
Doris Maitland, Director of Information Systems for the Lee County Clerk of Circuit Court, recognized Odyssey’s potential from the start. “While searching the marketplace to replace our mainframe legacy systems, we initially found only products with aging technology – ones we would surely outgrow within five years,” commented Ms. Maitland. “Then we looked at Tyler’s Odyssey and saw a solution that excited both our users and technicians. Odyssey’s user interface is intuitive and very well designed. Its technology is built on commodity hardware, is easy to administer, has built-in redundancy, and is highly scalable.”
Located on the Gulf Coast in southwest Florida, Lee County includes the cities of Fort Myers and Cape Coral. Lee County is the 10th largest county in the state of Florida and one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, with a population approaching 500,000. With its rapid growth, the County required a courts system that would grow with it and that could handle consolidation of multiple functions and court case types. Because Odyssey is a unified case management system as defined by the National Center for State Courts, Lee County will consolidate the functions of case processing – imaging, accounting, calendaring, reporting, forms merge and others – for every case type, in a single software package.
