Summary
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. “Software license and service revenues continued to be pressured by longer sales cycles, delays in projects, and the near elimination of billable travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. "We are excited about our opportunities to accelerate revenue growth and achieve our margin objectives in 2021, as our elevated investments in product development and acquisitions in recent years have broadened our addressable market and strengthened our competitive position.
