DALLAS, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyler Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: TYL) announced today that its Cole Layer Trumble (CLT) and Eagle
divisions have signed contracts with Lancaster County, Nebraska, to provide
software for the County's tax and assessment administration, appraisal, and
document recording needs. The contracts, totaling nearly $1.5 million, mark a
significant move forward for Lancaster County as it prepares to integrate
functions between the assessment and register of deeds offices.
Lancaster County will implement Orion, Tyler's next-generation property
tax administration product, to replace its legacy OASIS appraisal and tax
administration software from Tyler's CLT division. The new Orion software,
which is built on Tyler's Odyssey platform, will provide the County with a
browser-based system that includes imbedded document imaging, property
inquiries and appeals, and extensive linking capabilities to track owners,
related properties, multiple mailing addresses, and exemption information.
Lancaster County will use Orion applications for computer-assisted mass
appraisal, assessment administration, personal property administration,
inquiry and appeals tracking, tax billing and collection, and delinquent tax
administration.
In addition, the Lancaster County Register of Deeds' office will implement
eaglerecorder(TM), Tyler's new n-tier document recording and imaging system,
to support an annual recording volume of approximately 100,000 documents. The
new system will manage cashiering, scanning, workflow, indexing and
verification, basic optical character recognition, and reporting functions in
the Register of Deeds' office. The system's Web services application program
interface will allow non-Tyler applications to access recording data and
images, and the County will use Web services to develop a portal for providing
public access.
The project also includes implementing eaglecm(TM), Tyler's document and
content management system, as a bridge between eaglerecorder and Tyler's new
Orion system. The selection of these compatible Tyler products highlights the
benefits for jurisdictions looking for fully integrated solutions that will
enable government offices to share information and streamline processes.
The Lancaster County project represents some important "firsts" for Tyler.
In addition to being the first eaglerecorder implementation in Nebraska, this
is the first eaglecm interface to Orion and the first joint sale between
Tyler's CLT and Eagle divisions.
Bruce Nagel, president of Tyler's Property Appraisal and Tax division,
commented, "Lancaster County has been a client since 1992 and has provided
leadership in the OASIS Users Group to help that product enjoy a long life
cycle. It has now moved into a leadership position with our Orion product and
in the integration of that product with other software products from Tyler.
Our long relationship with Lancaster County is another example of what 'Tyler
works' means to our clients."
Steve Nieman, president of Tyler's Eagle division, added, "We are
confident that Lancaster County will be the first of many counties who will
take advantage of Tyler's ability to deliver tightly integrated, leading-edge
technology solutions for multiple applications for local governments."
Lancaster County is home to Nebraska's state capital, Lincoln, and has an
annual budget of more than $142 million. The County is situated in the
southeastern portion of the state and has a total population of just over
250,000, with 232,000 in the city of Lincoln.
Lancaster County Assessor and Register of Deeds, Norman H. Agena said, "We
have had a long-standing working relationship with Tyler's CLT division and
the OASIS software system. We have complete confidence in Tyler and the new
Orion software, and we are pleased and excited to be one of the first users of
Orion and the eaglerecorder system in our Assessor/Register of Deeds Office."
