Lee County staff say Tyler system to go live Dec. 1; offices differ on data conversion
Summary
County staff told the Public Safety Committee that implementation of a new Tyler Technologies system is underway, with one office doing a full restart of records and another preparing a data dump for conversion; the target go-live date is Dec. 1.
Stacy, a county staff member, told the Lee County Public Safety Committee that the county’s rollout of a new Tyler Technologies system is on track for a December 1 go-live date.
Stacy said the office she represents “is not doing a data conversion. So none of our data that’s in the system is going over to Tyler. We’re just starting from the very beginning with Tyler, as far as adding new cases,” and that her team has been meeting with Tyler two to three times a week to prepare for the launch.
The difference in approach between offices was confirmed by Amy Hero of the county’s animal control staff, who said the county’s project manager has been coordinating with Tyler’s project manager and that “pretty soon they’re gonna be working with IT to get a data dump for them to have our data to start looking at conversion.” Amy added that, for her office, the work so far has been mainly backend coordination rather than hands-on changes in the office.
The contrast matters because one office will migrate existing records into Tyler while the other will begin with new-case entry only, a technical choice that affects staffing, training and how historical records will be accessed during and after the transition. Stacy described the implementation process as “been a pretty smooth process” and said the county expects to meet the December 1 target barring unforeseen issues.
Committee members asked no substantive follow-up questions at the meeting. The comments came during routine agency reports at the start of the committee’s agenda.
The committee did not take any formal action on the Tyler implementation during the meeting; staff said they would continue to report progress as launch approaches.
