DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a $2.5 million agreement to
provide Collin County, Texas, with additional Tyler integrated justice software
solutions. The addition of these products to the County`s current Tyler
applications will result in an end-to-end solution that manages the data and
workflow of each case from arrest through disposition. 

Under the latest agreement, Collin County has contracted with Tyler to implement
Odyssey® Jail Manager and Law Enforcement products, along with related
professional services. The Collin County Sheriff`s Office will use Odyssey Jail
Manager to ease inmate processing, tracking and reporting. Odyssey Law
Enforcement will be deployed by constable precincts and the Sheriff`s Office for
tracking and serving civil papers. 

"With these new products, Collin County expects to streamline our criminal
justice operations, because the new software will integrate seamlessly with
Tyler`s Odyssey Case Manager, which we`ve used since 2006," said Caren
Skipworth, director of information technology for Collin County. "We`ll be able
to serve the public faster by automating many manual processes between the jail
and court system, including indigent defense, bonds, warrants and final
sentencing." 

"Collin County operates a progressive jail, marked by innovative corrections and
inmate management programs," explained Bruce Graham, president of Tyler`s Courts
& Justice division. "Tyler is committed to long-term, collaborative
relationships with our clients, and we value Collin County`s leadership in
integrated justice and their continued trust in Tyler solutions." 

Skipworth said Collin County also expects to reduce paper use through the
document management and workflow functions built into Tyler`s solution.
Additionally, the County will save further development costs by sharing Tyler
software modifications with other counties in the Common Integrated Justice
Systems (CIJS) program of the Texas Conference of Urban Counties (CUC). 

As a CUC member, the County first adopted Tyler`s Odyssey Case Manager software
in 2006 under the software license agreement signed that same year between Tyler
and the CUC. Additionally, the County contracted in 2006 to implement the
Odyssey Prosecutor application. The CUC is a non-profit organization consisting
of 35 counties across the state, and accounting for approximately 80 percent of
the state`s population. 

Collin County is home to nearly 760,000 residents and covers 886 square miles of
north Texas. The county ranks as the sixth most populous in the state and is
among the 100 most populous counties in the United States. Located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Collin County is one of the fastest growing
counties in the nation and includes the cities of Plano, McKinney and Frisco.
