Guthrie County Assessor Rusty Pearson is recommending that the Board of Supervisors purchase the Tyler Incode local government software package. Pearson says the program would provide a huge improvement to workflow in his office. He says the program is faster and more efficient than what they’re currently using. Auditor Jerri Christman says the software could be used by multiple departments within the courthouse. The website for Tyler Technologies, Incode’s parent company, says that it includes integrated financial, personnel, citizen services, tax, court and public safety packages built from the ground up for each public sector client.

Incode has an initial price tag of $36,000 for the software package and an additional $7,000 for training to use it. Pearson says he would be willing to pay that initial $43,000 out of his department’s reserve fund. The Board of Supervisors expressed interest in the software, but took no action on purchasing it at Tuesday’s meeting.
