Plano-based Tyler Technologies (NYSE: TYL) has acquired Columbus, Ohio-based Emergency Networking, a SaaS company specializing in cloud-native software for fire departments and emergency medical services agencies.
“Having been a partner of Emergency Networking since 2023, we have not only seen their innovative products first-hand, but we have successfully delivered a positive experience to both Emergency Networking and Tyler clients,” Andrew Hittle, president of Tyler’s Public Safety Division, said in a statement. “This acquisition elevates our public safety offering with a complete fire and EMS records management suite, which is critical for our fire department clients who must adhere to the NERIS reporting standards by the end of this year.”
“We’re confident the addition of Emergency Networking’s solutions—and their team members—will help make these agencies even stronger, empowering them to keep their communities safe,” Hittle added.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Tyler said the acquisition strengthens its comprehensive public safety suite at a critical time.
By Jan. 1, all fire and EMS departments nationwide must move from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) to the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS), Tyler noted, adding that Emergency Networking is one of the first fire records reporting solutions to meet and submit to the new NERIS compliance requirements.
Reducing time on paperwork and improving decision-making
Emergency Networking serves more than 500 clients, including fire and EMS agencies, ambulance and transport agencies, and state fire marshals and commissioners. Tyler and Emergency Networking recently announced an agreement with the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security to support its transition to NERIS.
With Emergency Networking’s expertise in the fire and EMS industry, Tyler said it now has the most comprehensive suite of solutions for public safety agencies, from law enforcement to first responders to EMS agencies.
Tyler Technologies said that Emergency Networking offers a full spectrum of solutions for fire departments and EMS agencies, including Patient Care Reporting (ePCR), NFIRS, NERIS, inspections, hydrants, training, inventory, exposures, community paramedicine, advanced analytics, and forms.
With its efficient fire and ePCR records management and reporting, responders spend more time responding to emergencies and less time on paperwork. Advanced analytics and reporting capabilities help agencies identify trends, allowing them to make more informed, proactive decisions, Tyler said.
