“Tyler and NIC share a vision for connecting communities and bringing more efficient and accessible technology solutions to citizens,” said Lynn Moore, Tyler’s president and chief executive officer. “It was clear to us when we first announced this transaction in February that NIC is uniquely positioned to help make government more efficient as it continues to add online services for residents. After working closely with the NIC team over the past few months, we are more confident than ever in the cultural alignment across our organizations and the opportunities ahead for our combined company.”

NIC delivers user-friendly digital services that make it easier and more efficient for citizens and businesses to interact with government – providing valuable conveniences like applying for unemployment insurance, submitting business filings, renewing licenses, accessing information, and making secure payments without visiting a government office. In addition, NIC has extensive expertise and scale in the government payments arena, processing more than $24 billion in payments on behalf of citizens and governments in 2020, which will accelerate Tyler’s strategic payments initiatives.

With the completion of the acquisition, NIC Chief Executive Officer Harry Herington is retiring from the organization. The rest of the NIC leadership team will remain in place and continue to manage operations from its Olathe, Kansas, home office. Tyler is working closely with NIC on an integration plan for the benefit of the combined operations.

“Harry’s contributions to NIC over nearly three decades have helped to define the future of the government technology and services industry, in addition to building an outstanding team of professionals who embrace innovation and are motivated by a culture of caring. We wish Harry all the best in his retirement and look forward to welcoming NIC’s talented team members to our company, where we expect them to benefit from new and exciting career opportunities,” added Moore.
