According to Mike Hughes, director of transportation services for the Boston Public School District, their search committee spent a great deal of time reviewing the products available in the market. “Tyler presented the most thorough and complete system while still being very user-friendly,” he commented. “Our contacts with other school districts using Tyler’s Versatrans told us the product came as advertised, and that customer support was always available and helpful.”
“We are pleased the Boston Public School District has chosen to put their trust in Tyler,” stated Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler’s School Division. “One of the reasons clients such as Boston find superior functionality and a user-friendly interface is that Tyler’s employees focus on nothing but the public sector.

That is why Tyler continues to be the growing choice of districts nationwide and we are confident that Boston will operate with greater efficiency as a result of this solution.”
