DALLAS — Tyler Technologies, Inc. announced today that it has signed a $2.5 million agreement to provide Collin County, Texas, with additional Tyler integrated justice software solutions. Under the latest agreement, the Collin County Sheriff’s Office will use Tyler's software to ease inmate processing, tracking and reporting.

“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).

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.
