Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that the Superior
Court of California, County of Kern, has selected Tyler’s Odyssey®
court case management system to unify case management and streamline
operations throughout the court.
Kern Superior Court selected Odyssey
and its e-filing (electronic filing) solution to replace the Superior
Court’s two, disparate case management systems. The current criminal and
traffic court system is nearing the end of its life cycle, and other
case types are handled by a completely different system. Because Odyssey
is an integrated, end-to-end solution, it unifies case management across
the court, streamlining processes and enabling court staff to focus on
other critical operational matters.
“Odyssey checked off all the boxes of those items that we thought were
crucial to a case management system that will serve us well into the
future,” said Court Executive Officer Terry McNally. “Most importantly,
it can be fully integrated with our justice partners, it has e-filing
and document management capabilities and it reduces our maintenance
costs significantly.”
The Superior Court is the third court to procure a case management
system using the Master Services Agreement (MSA) that gives California’s
58 superior courts the ability to purchase Tyler’s Odyssey integrated
court case management system at pre-negotiated terms, conditions and
pricing outlined in the MSA. Purchasing through this MSA will save
courts time and money.
The MSA was developed by a group of IT leaders and court managers within
the California
judicial system as a way for the state’s superior courts to efficiently
purchase a case management system without the cost and inconvenience of
conducting their own request for proposal (RFP) process. Kern County
follows the superior courts of Kings, Orange, Merced, Fresno and San
Luis Obispo in joining the Tyler community.
“As one of the larger California superior courts in terms of population
and user base, Kern is a great example of a court pragmatically
selecting a comprehensive technology solution to replace its disparate
systems to better serve its constituents for years to come,” said Bruce
Graham, president of Tyler’s Courts & Justice Division. “We are proud to
partner with the Superior Court of Kern County as it unifies its case
management system and streamlines judicial processes in the county.”
Kern County is located at the southern end of California’s Central
Valley, just north of Los Angeles County, and has a population of
approximately 850,000. The county seat is the city of Bakersfield.
In total, Odyssey has been selected for use by more than 500 counties in
20 states, serving more than 75 million residents. Odyssey has been
successfully deployed statewide in Indiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota; statewide implementations in
Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington are currently under
way.
