Tyler’s evergreen philosophy is really a commitment to our clients. It means that their investment in Tyler SIS is for the long-term. It means that Tyler SIS will continue to evolve and remain relevant. It means that we are continuously enhancing our products with underlying technology. And it means that we are continuously adding new features that add value and increase efficiency in school districts.

We deliver this without additional license fees. Product upgrades are released as part of maintenance agreements and are immediately available.

Perpetual Upgrades
Tyler deploys industry leading technology and features that are continuously enhanced through a process of perpetual upgrades — a steady stream of significant yet manageable changes deployed over the life of the application with minimal disruption to our clients’ operations — with no re-licensing fees and minimal changes to our core business logic. This is a much better experience for our clients than deploying massive changes every 5-7 years that require retraining and costly upgrades. Clients can incorporate these changes and advancements when they are ready without disruption of ongoing work.

We are sensitive to the challenge of adopting new technologies. We strive to deploy them in a non-disruptive manner and we follow a stringent vetting process prior to adopting new technologies.
