Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a software-as-a-service
(SaaS) agreement with the city of Amarillo, Texas, for Tyler's EnerGov™
and Munis® solutions.
The city of Amarillo had been using a combination of in-house and
vendor-provided software solutions for their licensing, permitting, and
utility billing functions. In an effort to implement best practices and
enable transparency for its constituents, the city sought a
comprehensive citizen services solution for land, permitting, licensing,
code, public works, billing, vital records, and cashiering management.
Amarillo also required a solution that had an excellent platform for
open government, allowing citizens access to information and tools at
their convenience.
The city of Amarillo ultimately chose Tyler because it offered the best
solutions to serve their constituents' needs and it provides a platform
that will allow for growth as the city continues on a path of constant
improvement. The EnerGov solution will provide the city with permitting
and inspections processing, as well as a citizen portal to expand access
and transparency for residents, and Munis will improve communication
across multiple departments.
Amarillo's citizens will benefit from the ease of access to real-time
data through the city's 3-1-1 initiatives by leveraging Tyler's
citizen-facing products, allowing for seamless coordination between
various city departments and automated workflows to boost citizen
access, customer service and communication. The solutions should provide
numerous opportunities to gain efficiencies and reduce costs. The city
of Amarillo chose to contract for a SaaS solution, rather than on-site
hosting, to ensure the organization is always up to date with its
systems.
Amarillo is located in northwest Texas and is the 14th most populous
city in the state. It has a population of close to 200,000 residents.
