Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action on Software License and Professional Services Agreement and Amendment to Existing Software Maintenance Agreement between Tyler Technologies and Williamson County as well as Amendment 4 to the Techshare Resource Sharing Addendum CIJS Court Administration System.

Background

As part of the Public Safety Technology Project (PSTP) there are several interfaces needed between the OSSI software and Tyler Technologies' Odyssey software. For example, pulling mugshots from the Odyssey Jail system to allow the officers in the car to identify persons who have been, or are currently in, Jail. Also, being able to access Odyssey to determine if individuals have outstanding warrants. As we worked with both OSSI and Tyler, defining the scopes of work for the various integration points, it was determined that the best, and most cost-effective solution, would be for the County to purchase the Integration Toolkit which would allow OSSI to write the integration with little help from Tyler. This will end up saving in excess of $250,000 in programming and consulting fees that would otherwise have had to be paid to Tyler. Also, it will give us flexibility to add additional interfaces in the future with little or no involvement (and, therefore, little or no cost) from Tyler. The funds for this integration were budgeted in the PSTP project. Also, because we are purchasing this through the CUC-CIJS/TechShare agreement with Tyler, Amendment 4 needs to be approved as well. The court approved this amendment last month, but since we are adding the Integration Toolkit, the amendment needs to be approved with this change.
