(NYSE:TYL) provides software and technology solutions for the public sector, including state and local governments, to improve operations, transparency and citizen services. This quarter, the company reported strong results for both the fourth quarter and the fiscal year 2024. Thus far, the public sector market remains strong with healthy state and local budgets. We think the focus on government efficiency could further drive sales of Tyler products.”
