Tyler Technologies to Provide Tyler's VersaTrans Transportation Management Solution to Denver Public Schools
DALLAS--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that it has successfully implemented Tyler's VersaTransr transportation management system, part of Tyler's broad range of software solutions for the K-12 school market, at Denver Public Schools (DPS). Specifically, DPS and Tyler, working together for the last eight weeks, have successfully implemented Tyler's VersaTrans RPr, and VersaTrans e-Linkr. VersaTrans OnScreenr and the VersaTrans SIF AgentTM were also purchased by DPS and will be implemented in near the future.
VersaTrans RP provides superior planning capabilities to simplify bus scheduling, routing and planning. VersaTrans OnScreen offers real-time GPS fleet tracking and management. VersaTrans e-Link enables a school district's transportation department to share school bus information online with principals, teachers and parents. Additionally, VersaTrans RP is certified with the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) and is scalable to meet the needs of districts large and small.
Widely recognized today as one of the best urban school systems in the country, DPS is Colorado's second largest school district, serving the City and County of Denver. DPS educates approximately 75,000 primary and secondary students at 152 educational facilities, and employs more than 13,000 people. The District transports approximately 20,000 students daily using 337 buses.
According to Pauline Gervais, executive director for transportation services at DPS, a search committee went through an extensive process to identify routing systems that would best meet the needs of Denver's fast-paced and ever-changing district. "After reviewing the available products and much discussion with our committee, our decision came down to a unanimous choice - VersaTrans," stated Gervais. She explained that VersaTrans products such as e-Link, RP and OnScreen provide versatility with ease of use. She also stated "VersaTrans RP is a robust, powerful tool that easily sifts through data, makes students and route assignments quickly, and is user-friendly. Information for data reporting is easily extrapolated and the possibilities are endless. The overall consensus of our routing department was `This is a great system!' We are extremely excited and thrilled to have this incredible system and look forward to utilizing VersaTrans to its full potential," added Gervais.
"Tyler's transportation management solution is well-regarded as a leader in the industry and we are proud that Denver Public Schools has placed their trust in us," stated Doug Hamlin, president of Tyler's VersaTrans Solution. "We're confident that Denver Public Schools will use our products to help transport their students with greater efficiency and realize substantial cost savings as a result of implementation."
