Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) signed an agreement with the City of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Tyler's iasWorld CAMA™ computer-assisted
mass appraisal software solution. The agreement, valued at more than $8
million, includes software-as-a-service (SaaS) implementation, data
migration, training, maintenance, and support services.
The City of Philadelphia identified several opportunities where
significant technology upgrades could increase efficiency in its
property appraisal processes. The city encompasses approximately 140
square miles and has roughly 580,000 parcels, and it required a new
software solution that would be able to better integrate data, enhance
audit capability, and offer better workload management and reporting for
its staff.
The city's existing technology environment consists of siloed systems
that are difficult to maintain, and the city needed a vendor that could
provide a modern solution with a proven history of handling large and
complex municipalities. After a thorough review process, the city
ultimately selected Tyler, based upon its proven ability to implement
CAMA software in cities and counties across the country. Tyler has a
large footprint in Pennsylvania, and with this agreement, Tyler's
iasWorld mass appraisal solution will soon cover assessment for over
half of the parcels in the commonwealth.
By implementing Tyler's modern CAMA solution, the city will be able to
facilitate significant process improvements, specifically:
-
Electronic access to functionality that is either not available today
or achieved through paper-driven processes
-
Access to all pertinent parcel information in one system
-
Reduction in reliance on shadow systems
-
Clear identification of the system of record
-
Better valuation data and data quality
-
Enhanced audit capability
-
Better workload management and reporting capability
"The City of Philadelphia will greatly benefit from a comprehensive
property assessment solution, especially considering it is currently
using many disparate systems to maintain its parcel data," said Mark
Hawkins, senior vice president of software operation of Tyler's
Appraisal & Tax Division. "We're excited to expand our presence for
iasWorld in Pennsylvania and add another large and complex city to our
client base. We are eager to see how the automation will benefit the
city's staff and, in turn, its constituents."
Tyler's iasWorld solution has an expansive footprint covering 25 states
in the U.S., four Canadian provinces, and the Commonwealth of the
Bahamas. Tyler also provides its Eagle Recorder™ solution to
the City of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is Pennsylvania's largest city and the sixth most populous
city in the U.S., with an estimated population of 1.5 million.
