Tyler's Award-Winning Clients
December 02, 2019 by Meredith Trimble
At the recent National League of Cities City Summit, the Center for Digital Government announced the winners of the 2019 Digital Cities Survey.
The survey honors exemplar cities whose leaders are leveraging innovative vendor solutions, identifying creative infrastructure upgrades, and making government-wide philosophical changes to ready their cities for the decade ahead.
Four of the five first place winners are Tyler clients. We applaud these cities that are setting an example for their peers around the country. Weston, FL, for example, built its tech infrastructure from the foundation up to allow a small core staff to provide excellent services and quickly adapt. Lynchburg, VA’s IT department crafted an in-house system to track key information about infrastructure projects that also loops in public-facing departments for communication around road closures, traffic changes, and more. Norfolk, VA, has shifted to a citizen-centric, connected government with an open data portal and a commitment to data sharing. Miami, FL, is similarly data-focused and reorganized its IT department to become part of Innovation and Strategic Management.
Special congratulations to these and all the Tyler clients taking top honors in the categories below:
