Case Study: Iowa increases government transparency with Tyler Technologies' Enterprise Data Platform

Iowa improves government transparency with Tyler Technologies for $10.79 billion in CARES Act funds

The State of Iowa, a government entity with a population of 3.2 million, faced the challenge of transparently managing and reporting on over $10.79 billion in CARES Act funding received in 2020. Officials needed to show the public how much aid was awarded, where it was going, and how it was being expended. To address this, Iowa partnered with vendor Tyler Technologies and utilized their Enterprise Data Platform.

Tyler Technologies implemented a web-based, interactive Pandemic Recovery Report site. This solution used the platform's robust data capabilities to standardize information from various sources, creating dynamic visualizations of the funds. The result was a real-time, living platform that provided visibility into payments sent to nearly 16,000 schools, nonprofits, and businesses, greatly enhancing government transparency for the state's residents.
