LICENSE SYSTEM



It is requested that Council approve the payment to Tyler Technologies (Dallas,

TX) in the amount of $59,947.20 for annual software license maintenance for the

Energov Software Permitting System utilized by Inspections and Code; and the

Energov Software Business License System utilized by the Finance Department?s

Revenue Division. This maintenance payment will cover ongoing support for both

systems from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.



This maintenance provides Information Technology, Inspections and Codes,

Engineering, Planning and the Revenue Division with software enhancements,

documentation updates, Users Group support and hot line support for the Energov

Building Inspection System and Business License System.



Both systems were originally purchased from Energov per Resolution #655-05 for

the Business License System; and Resolution #234-08 for the Permitting System.

Energov was already providing maintenance support for the Business License

system, purchased in 2005. In 2008, during negotiations with Energov to

provide the Permitting System, software maintenance for both systems was

combined as a cost savings measure. In November 2012, Tyler Technologies

acquired Energov.
