Tyler
Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: TYL) announced today that the state of
Maryland is launching the Socrata® Connected Government Cloud
(SCGC) solution. The state will use this advanced internal data sharing
approach to strengthen its commitment to innovation and data-driven
governance.

With its strong technology industry and government investment in data,
Maryland is routinely recognized among the best in the nation for data
innovation and emerging technologies. The state is devoted to digital
customer service, tracking metrics and measuring performance, and
streamlining its procurement process.

Socrata Connected Government Cloud will support those commitments and
enable the state to move toward two key goals: efficiency and
interoperability.

“Under the Hogan administration, there are more Marylanders than ever
before using Maryland’s Open Data Portal. Interest in open data has
expanded throughout the world, and, with over 8,500 unique users
accessing Maryland’s Open Data Portal per month, our state is no
different,” said Michael G. Leahy, secretary of the Maryland Department
of Information Technology. “Demand for greater transparency,
accessibility, and ease of use continues to grow and the citizens of
Maryland expect data to be available to them as fast as they request it.”

Maryland has been leading with data for many years having adopted the
Open Data Act and implemented the state’s Open Data Portal in 2014, as
well as large data-driven programs such as Maryland
OneStop Portal
and Maryland Total Human-services Integrated Network
(MD THINK). Furthermore, the state’s website provides a gateway for more
than 21 million visitors to visit agency websites and use
hundreds of timesaving digital government services, including car
registration renewals, vehicle emissions tests, safety inspections, and
business registrations. As part of the internal data sharing launch,
Maryland’s public-facing open data portal will migrate to a new URL, opendata.maryland.gov.

Maryland will use the Socrata Connected Government Cloud to improve
operational efficiency, strengthen the security of its data, and enhance
collaboration across agencies and coordinating offices. SCGC is an
integrated solution fueled by Socrata’s data-as-a-service platform,
which brings built-in analytics to support government’s most important
programs, including open data.

The SCGC solution will serve as a self-service centralized data
repository for state employees. The extensible cloud-based, data sharing
platform, which was built specifically for governments, streamlines data
governance and self-service access across organizations.

“Maryland experienced firsthand how leveraging data makes governments
more nimble, responsive, and strategic,” said Kevin Merritt, president
of Tyler’s Data & Insights Division.

“Virtually every government can benefit from better use of data. By
creating a single source of truth that turns data into insights, Socrata
Connected Government Cloud will underpin Maryland’s commitment to
digital governance.”
