Tyler Technologies Secures Contract with Allegheny County Retirement Board for Pension Management Solution

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL - News) announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Retirement Board of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania to provide Tyler’s Pension Management solution for the administration of the Allegheny County Employees Retirement Fund. The contract includes software licenses, as well as related professional services, ongoing maintenance and support.

Allegheny County Retirement Board President and County Treasurer John Weinstein commented on the County’s decision to purchase the new Pension Management solution. “Allegheny County sought to replace its archaic system with a comprehensive pension administration solution — one that integrates technology with the County’s other financial applications. Tyler’s Pension Management solution will accomplish this for us. Ultimately, we’re looking to increase efficiencies related to the management and administration of our employee pension fund, which serves over 7,000 active members, and 4,500 retirees which are currently pensioners. Implementing this new system will enable us to improve service to plan members by providing them with self-service tools to check account balances and calculate retirement benefits via the Internet. The system will also automate correspondence to both plan members and County personnel with integrated forms and comprehensive reporting.”

Tyler’s Pension Management system provides public sector agencies with a highly customizable solution for managing their pension plans. Built on the Microsoft® .NET framework, the Web-enabled system gives individuals convenient online access to their account information. Allegheny County is the second county in Pennsylvania to invest in the Pension Management solution, which is compliant with the County Pension Law (Act 96) of the Pennsylvania state legislature.

The County is an existing Tyler client, running Tyler’s iasWorld property tax solution since 2002 to manage its property tax assessment, billing and administration functions.

John S. Marr, Jr., president and CEO of Tyler Technologies, believes the flexible design and ability of Tyler’s Pension Management solution to meet state of Pennsylvania requirements make it an excellent investment choice for Allegheny County. “Tyler’s focus on providing local government agencies with a Pension Management solution that offers not only extensive functionality, but also the flexibility to meet state-specific requirements makes it a solid match for Allegheny County and other counties in the state. Tyler is pleased to welcome Allegheny as the latest client to invest in our Pension Management solution,” he stated.
