Odyssey now to be used in seven of the top 10
counties in the United States
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) signed a $36 million
agreement with Cook County, Illinois, for Tyler’s Odyssey Case
Manager™ solution as well as Tyler’s Brazos e-citations solution.
The agreement includes integrated electronic filing and electronic
citations that will feed case and citation data directly into the
court case management solution, making the process more accurate
and efficient for all its users. Integration between the court and
law enforcement agencies is enabled by Tyler’s Alliance platform
that simplifies information sharing across criminal justice
departments.
“As promised, we are moving forward with major enhancements to
the efficiencies of our busy court system,” said Dorothy Brown,
Cook County Circuit Court Clerk. “Odyssey will improve our
operations, increase access to justice for our citizens and make
Chicago and Cook County safer, just as it has already in 6 of the
10 largest counties in the country.”
Cook County required a comprehensive solution that could replace
multiple outdated applications being used by the court. Tyler will
be replacing a mainframe system that is more than 40 years old, as
well as the county’s cashiering and document management systems.
Odyssey will operate these applications as one complete software
solution, which will dramatically reduce costs and IT time that
supported the county’s previous multiple applications.
The county selected Tyler because it provided the best solution
for their needs and has a track record of success. Cook County will
join many of the other largest counties in the nation – where busy
criminal and civil courts improve operations with Odyssey. The fact
that the Supreme Court of Illinois had already selected Tyler to
provide e-filing to the state further enhances the benefits that
Cook County will receive by choosing Odyssey Case Manager –
eliminating paper, and improving operational efficiencies for the
internal clerk staff and external court customers.
“After an exhaustive evaluation process in which we vetted the
seven top vendors, it became clear why Tyler’s Odyssey is the
market leader,” said Bridget Dancy, CIO, Cook County Circuit Court
Clerk’s Office. “In addition to a detailed RFP process, we
evaluated multiple product demonstrations to ensure the Odyssey
product was a good fit for our court. Most importantly, we talked
to many existing Odyssey clients who validated that Tyler is a
partner that stands behind their customers during these complex
implementation projects.”
Odyssey will increase efficiency, modernize processes and enable
data sharing among departments within Cook County’s court system.
The solution will also enable web access for the county’s
constituents and provide a more seamless online presence.
“We are eager to bring this fully integrated solution to Cook
County to help them improve processes and achieve their goals for
innovation,” said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler’s Courts &
Justice Division. “We’re incredibly proud to be the leading vendor
in the country for both e-filing and case management, and we look
forward to helping Cook County achieve greater efficiency and
reduce costs.”
With a population of more than 5 million, Cook County is the
second-most populous county in the U.S. after Los Angeles County,
California, which is already using Odyssey successfully. Tyler’s
Odyssey solution is being used successfully in more than 900
counties across 24 states, covering more than 100 million
people.
