Tyler’s Incode 2014 Excellence Award winners are the city of Ridgeland, Mississippi, and the city of Dunwoody Municipal Court in Georgia. Ridgeland, with a population of approximately 24,000, received the award for using Incode and Tyler Content Manager to replace paper-based processes, creating approximately $50,000 in personnel-related savings and freeing up storage space by digitizing three years of paper records. Dunwoody Municipal Court was awarded for its use of automating processes with Incode and increasing work output by 27 percent without adding additional resources. Dunwoody is a northern suburb of DeKalb County and has a population of more than 46,000.

Tyler’s Eagle 2014 Excellence Award winner is Washoe County, Nevada, for its out-of-the-box workflow software solution for Eagle Recorder that resulted in reduced labor costs for the county and improved customer service. Washoe County has a population of approximately 421,000 and its county seat is Reno.

Award submissions were evaluated by a panel of Tyler leadership. Entries were judged on business value, maturity, innovation and relevance to other public sector organizations. Additional criteria met by award winners include:

Creating a unique process that utilizes a Tyler application
Realizing significant savings after implementing a Tyler product
Increasing staff productivity by implementing a Tyler product
Empowering employees, citizens or vendors

Tyler Excellence Award winners were honored on Monday, April 14, at Tyler’s Connect 2014 user conference, where they were presented with the awards. Winners were also offered an expense-paid trip to the conference.
