Tyler Excellence Awards for Public Sector Organizations

At Tyler Technologies, we are motivated and inspired by the clients we serve. That’s why we created the Tyler Excellence Awards (TEA) — recognizing the impact of Tyler solutions made possible by the government leaders using them. Since 2010, we’ve honored more than 300 organizations driving more efficient, effective, and connected communities.

TEA winners receive complimentary travel, accommodations, and registration to our annual Connect conference, along with an engraved crystal award, exclusive conference opportunities, and features in storytelling and educational programs to showcase their success.

These awards celebrate clients who demonstrate leadership, innovation, and excellence in using Tyler solutions. Winners will be announced at the 2026 Tyler Connect conference.

LEADERSHIP, INNOVATION, AND EXCELLENCE

Our clients are a big part of why our solutions are so successful, and we want to recognize your use of these solutions through the Tyler Excellence Awards program and at our annual user conference, Tyler Connect.

Tell us how your software has helped your organization work more efficiently, how technology has positively impacted your community, or how advancement in your Tyler solutions has supported the ever-changing operations of the public sector!
