GTY Reports Continued Growth and Strong Operating Performance

GTY Technology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GTYH) (“GTY”), a leading provider of cloud solutions for the public sector, announced today that GTY business units continue to thrive and work closely with public sector organizations to assist with the challenges they face due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The sudden requirement for public sector organizations to work remotely while managing a crisis has proven the value of working with cloud-based solutions,” said TJ Parass, CEO of GTY. “Given the uncertainties of the evolving pandemic, public sector organizations need to make decisions quickly to respond to the needs of their communities. GTY’s business units play a crucial role in helping these organizations manage the impact of COVID-19 while remaining effective and accountable.”

Year-to-date, GTY has added over 167 new customers across its six business units and has over 350 organizations participating in the COVID-19 Emergency Response programs its business units are offering. This considerable interest signifies the demand for cloud solutions that mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and help public sector organizations achieve better results.

Bonfire, a leading provider of public procurement software, has welcomed 52 new clients and 50 public agencies to its COVID-19 Emergency Response Program to-date in 2020. This growth represents the public sector’s continued strong interest and preference for the Bonfire solution as a key tool to help advance the way public procurement sourcing decisions are made. New clients added to Bonfire’s now 400+ customers include: Delaware Health and Social Services, DE; Richland County, SC; Lee County Schools, FL; and Jacksonville Transportation Authority, FL. Bonfire has also experienced 172% growth year-to-date in vendor and contractor subscribers interested in responding to the thousands of public RFPs, RFQs, and bids available in the Bonfire platform.

CityBase, a government technology company that transforms the way cities connect and do business with constituents, has brought on new clients in state and local governments in 2020. These new clients are using their payment technology and digital services for better constituent and staff experiences as well as to promote business continuity as government buildings were closed. The City of Lawrence, IN has partnered with CityBase to install indoor and outdoor payment kiosks. The city is launching this new self-service payment channel for their constituents to conveniently pay in person 24/7 while reducing person-to-person contact. The City of Sacramento, CA is using CityBase technology to streamline the application process for COVID-19 emergency economic relief.

eCivis is a leading cloud-based grant management system for state, local, and tribal governments. As governments experience the economic impacts of COVID-19, including revenue shortfalls and the need for increased expenditure, the company has seen a significant uptick in customer interest, particularly related to better understanding stimulus funding as well as managing long-term fiscal recovery (post-pandemic). In the past two months, there have been nearly 2,000 total webinar registrants and nearly 7,000 views and downloads for COVID-19 content alone. Additionally, the company’s latest COVID-19 Emergency Response Program Funding Toolkit has helped as many as 300 new state, city, county, territory, and tribal customers maximize grant dollars through the CARES Act, with the ability to clearly delineate COVID-19 related grants through tagging.
