Tyler’s Excellence Awards for Odyssey recognize organizations that have
demonstrated excellence in deploying Odyssey in novel and successful
ways that extend best practices. Award submissions were evaluated by a
panel of Tyler leadership, and 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
San Luis Obispo Superior Court exhibited leadership by moving quickly to
consolidate 25 disconnected systems onto a single Odyssey platform;
multiple Collin County offices were recognized for an integrated use of
Odyssey across the county in order to efficiently share information
between multiple agencies — including constables, district and county
clerks, the jail, and the courthouse; and the Texas Office of Court
Administration deployed Odyssey File & Serve to support a statewide
e-filing platform, known as eFileTexas.gov, with an expected savings of
24 million sheets of paper in 2014.
Tyler Excellence Award winners were honored on Monday, April 14, at
Tyler’s Connect 2014 user conference, where they were presented with the
award and given the opportunity to share their best practices and
lessons learned with their public sector peers.
“We are pleased to publicly recognize clients like the Texas OCA who
mandated e-filing statewide to reduce costs for filers and improve
efficiencies for courts, and San Luis Obispo who created a model for
other California courts to leverage to meet their case management needs
in a streamlined way,” said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler’s Courts &
Justice Division. “Sharing successes shows what is possible, and helps
us all make our courts better. Congratulations to the winners of
Odyssey’s Tyler Excellence Awards.”
San Luis Obispo Judge Dodie Harman recently outlined the successful
implementation of Odyssey during the April 24-25 California Judicial
Council meeting. The presentation
and meeting
audio is available on the California Courts website.
