Dominican Republic to Strengthen Orphan Case Management with Software from Tyler Technologies and Non-Profit Both Ends Burning

Caribbean nation is latest to choose Children
First Software for better access to data that helps efficiently
match children with forever families
In a new public/private partnership, Tyler Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: TYL) and non-profit Both Ends Burning are supporting the
Dominican Republic’s orphan care strategies with a software-based
registry called Children First Software. The technology helps
government agencies build, maintain and manage accurate records of
a child’s identification, medical conditions and other details for
matching the child with their forever family.
Both Ends Burning, a change agent dedicated to bringing
attention and solutions to the challenges facing orphans in
developing nations, partnered with Tyler Technologies to develop
Children First Software. The organizations have entered a three-way
agreement with the Dominican Republic to use the software at no
cost, which is now in production for the Caribbean nation.
As one of 26 countries that comprise the Both Ends Burning
Global Working Group, the Dominican Republic is the most recent
country to apply the Children First Software, which helps
government institutions and private orphanages to streamline how
at-risk children are matched with loving families. The registry is
also currently in pilot in four other countries and is expected to
move into production in those countries in this calendar year.
Children First Software provides a tool to enable countries
worldwide to manage and produce child welfare programs through four
modules, including registry, planning, placement and
administration. The software’s administration module was designed
with a repeatable baseline code, but is also configurable to every
country’s unique needs. By having online, comprehensive access to
each child’s relevant information, including all known data about
birth, health and education, Children First Software helps
in-country courts, child welfare and adoption organizations make
determinations about the best outcome for each child, as well as
measure family-based outcomes in a timely and safe manner.
“Children First Software was designed with the world’s most
vulnerable children in mind, and shows how technology can make a
true difference, reducing the time required to move these children
out of orphanages and institutional care, reunifying them with
their birth parents or finding loving families in the child’s own
country or abroad,” said Mark Schwartz, who holds the dual role of
executive director of Both Ends Burning, and director of consulting
for Tyler Technologies. “There are multiple aspects of orphan care,
and providing all in-country agencies better and easier access to
pertinent child data is a major hurdle. We are proud to be working
with the Dominican Republic and supporting their leaders as they
work hard to streamline social welfare initiatives.”
Both Ends Burning and Tyler have a shared vision for how
public/private partnerships can help countries solve tough and
complex issues. Tyler is committed to using technology to help
transform the justice system, and the partnership with Both Ends
Burning helps address systemic injustice for these vulnerable
children.
“We believe that the Children First Software initiative is part
of our social and moral responsibility. We are blessed with the
financial and technology resources, and people with the expertise
and passion, to support caring nations like the Dominican Republic
that are working hard to improve the welfare of children living
outside parental care,” said Bruce Graham, chief strategy officer
and president of Tyler’s Courts & Justice Division. “We are
eager to put Children First Software to work in the Dominican
Republic and be a strong partner for the nation’s leaders who are
committed to helping the children in their care.”
