Tyler Excellence Awards for Public Sector Organizations

Every year, we look forward to recognizing our clients who use Tyler software to make an impact within their organizations and communities. To honor our clients’ leadership and innovation, we established the Tyler Excellence Awards (TEA) in 2010. Since then, we have awarded more than 300 public sector organizations for excellence in developing, deploying, and maintaining solutions in new ways.

Adopting new technology into your organization is no easy feat, and organizations like yours make the big decision to partner with Tyler Technologies to better serve your constituents and enhance your communities.


Our clients are so focused on serving their communities that they rarely take the time to celebrate the significance of their innovations. TEA recognition allows them to step back and showcase their community impact.

To honor their success, TEA winners receive complimentary travel, accommodations, and registration to our annual Connect user conference. The clients are recognized in various ways throughout the conference and presented with an engraved crystal award to bring back to their agency.

TEA Submission Information

The Tyler Excellence Awards were established to acknowledge clients who demonstrate leadership, innovation, and excellence in developing, deploying, and maintaining Tyler solutions in new ways — because our clients are a big part of why our solutions are so successful.

Share how your organization has realized high-impact value, either Return on Effort (ROE) or Return on Investment (ROI), with a Tyler solution by submitting your nomination to win. Share your organization's unique insight into using your Tyler solutions today!

We hope to see you at Connect 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 19-22, 2024.
