Regulatory Tech Trends: Survey Findings With CLEAR and Tyler

On this episode of The Tyler Tech Podcast, we’re bringing you Digital Technologies within Regulatory Agencies: Usage and Perceptions from Regulation Matters: a CLEAR conversation, a podcast from the Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR).

CLEAR, in collaboration with Tyler, conducted a survey this past February, which targeted over 7,000 CLEAR stakeholders, representing more than 400 regulatory agencies, colleges, and bodies. The primary aim was to understand the use and perception of digital technologies within regulatory agencies.

Key insights from the survey reveal the following:

• Online Services: A significant number of agencies have adopted online user portals, with mobile access being a common feature. However, only a few have developed mobile-specific apps, highlighting a gap in mobile service provision.
• Payment Systems: The importance of centralized payment systems is emphasized, with a noticeable shift towards electronic payments over traditional methods like checks. This change aligns with broader societal trends towards digital financial transactions.
• Public Engagement: Regulatory agencies are focusing on improving online interactions with both licensees and the public. Enhanced mobile access and user-friendly digital interfaces are critical for meeting these goals.

Host Line Dempsey talks with Ronne Hines, regulatory consultant and former CLEAR president; Thomas Jackson, general manager of state regulatory with Tyler Technologies; and Michael Teeters, senior product manager with Tyler Technologies, who all contributed to the survey and provided their expert analysis. The discussion on the Regulation Matters: a CLEAR conversation podcast delves into the details of these findings, offering valuable perspectives on the progress and challenges faced by regulatory agencies in the digital age.
