Portage, Indiana, Signs SaaS Agreement for EnerGov Solution from Tyler Technologies

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Tyler Technologies, Inc. TYL has signed a three-year software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreement with Portage, Indiana, for Tyler's EnerGov^™ planning, regulatory and maintenance solution. The agreement includes hosting, training and related professional services.

Portage needed a fully integrated planning solution that could automate economic development functions and create efficiencies to help streamline workflows and improve customer service. City leaders also sought a solution with building permit application, asset management tracking, robust reporting, and mobile capabilities.

The city conducted a competitive review and ultimately chose EnerGov, valuing Tyler's public sector experience and track record of successfully implementing the solution in similar-sized cities. As an enterprisewide system, EnerGov will help increase interdepartmental collaboration with the overall goal of delivering the best possible customer service and transparency to residents.

Having EnerGov delivered via a SaaS model will save city IT staff time, allowing them to focus on other projects. EnerGov's mobile capabilities will provide staff real-time data access while in the field, and its online self-service component will expand government access for residents and businesses.

The city of Portage has approximately 37,000 residents and is about 30 miles southeast of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan.
