The company has been extensively focusing on extending its major state enterprise contracts as well. Last week, the company announced that Texas signed a three-year contract extension for its payment processing services.

Last month, Mississippi signed a two-year contract for Tyler’s award-winning digital government and payments services, which further extended the 11-year long relationship between the state and the company.

In the same month, TYL announced that it successfully provided its Economic Intelligence solution for New Jersey’s Office of Information Technology. Leveraging third-party data from two of its official partners, SafeGraph and Affinity Solutions, and integrating them into its Data & Insights platform, Tyler aided the New Jersey office to analyze and understand local economic trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the company added 135 new subscription-based arrangements and converted 71 existing on-premises clients, accounting for approximately $56 million in the total contract value.

The company has been pursuing strategic takeovers to broaden its product and service offerings, enter new markets related to local governments, attract clients and expand geographically. However, it faces significant integration risks due to frequent acquisitions.

Furthermore, Tyler’s near-term growth prospect is likely to be negatively impacted by delays in procurement processes and lengthening sales cycles as public entities focus on issues related to the pandemic. Also, many of its customers are likely to face budget pressure in the near term.
