The Texas-based behemoth has bought MyGov, whose cloud-based software and integrated platform focuses on such tasks as permitting, inspections, code enforcement, work orders, asset management and related tasks.
Tyler did not disclose how much it paid for the Oklahoma-based company, which was founded in 2002 by a former city planner.
MyGov has about 150 clients, “with a high concentration in Texas,” according to the statement announcing the deal.
Tyler, in that statement, said the deal “strengthens [its] public administration offerings.”
According to a recent business analysis of gov tech trends, public administration this year could “outweigh public safety” when measured by the volume of deals, “reversing the trend of public safety being a more active market.”
MyGov tools will compliment Tyler’s own offerings for towns, cities and counties, according to the statement. Tyler says those tools will help Tyler better serve small- and mid-sized communities.
MyGov management and staff will join Tyler’s Municipal and Schools Division.
“We are excited to join Tyler and expand the company’s expertise and footprint in the public administration market,” said Stephen Burnsworth, founder and product director of MyGov, in the statement. “MyGov’s integrated community development suite will complement the rest of Tyler’s extensive enterprise portfolio, bringing another option to streamline community development and asset management.”
The deal follows recent news of Tyler appointing new executives, including a chief marketing officer.
