Hempfield Township, PA
“We are no longer stuck in our ways with how we do things. We want to be challenged. We want OpenGov to help us reimagine how we operate.”
Irvine, CA
“Running five-year projections is much easier to manage with OpenGov. Our collaborators across departments tell us how much simpler and streamlined the process is for them with a shared platform, and we can forecast with confidence because we have the historical data at our fingertips.”
Glendora, CA
“By understanding the cost of our time preparing the budget and the cost in time creating reliable forecasting models while managing the risks of errors when using multiple manual processes, the decision to transform our processes and invest in OpenGov was fairly straightforward.”
Sunset Valley, TX
“Our ability to share findings and recommendations with OpenGov Stories made opportunity costs explicit and tangible, and in response, Council amended the code of ordinances related to Committees to direct the use of OpenGov for budgeting and planning by all City departments.”
Gilpin County, CO
“Rather than retrench, we decided to capitalize on heightened resident engagement to gather the insights and opinions of nearly 20% of our population to rewrite the County’s comprehensive plan and chart an economic path through the crisis and into the future.”
Farmersville, TX
“50% time savings have freed my staff up from drudgery, enabling them to focus on things to help move this city forward!”
Colerain Township, OH
“As a result of the pandemic and virtual workflows, the Township is seeing a ten-year high in new building permits and they are getting turned around just as fast as in the past. OpenGov has helped justify to our Board that working from home makes sense when our teams have the ability to do their work collaboratively and efficiently.”
Mono County, CA
“The number one benefit that we saw immediately was the process of one budget, one government, one team. Through the base budget process, [departments] were empowered to make their own decisions. We’re able to see relationships of how the finances of the county have changed over the last four years because of the way that OpenGov Reporting works.”
Provincetown, MA
“We had a shared drive, 25+ Excel spreadsheets, and as many Word documents that had to be moved and updated numerous times during the budget process. OpenGov has really changed that process for us in a positive way.”
Milpitas, CA
With OpenGov Procurement, we worked with our senior services manager and staff person in real time, making changes, getting live updates and discussing (the RFP). We were able to turn it around by the end of business that day, and within 17 days we had our first shipment delivered on the deadline. Not only was I able to source and publish the solicitation the same day, but I also came in $2,000 under budget after receiving more than a dozen quotes. That would have been very difficult in a hardcopy environment.”
Government Software Reviews
Real Reviews From Real Customers
"Best software implementation I have ever experienced in local government"
"It has been, hands down, by far the best software implementation that I have experienced in my sixteen years in local government. This product didn't just provide a new permitting platform, it significantly improved our operations and lessened the time necessary to review permits for our customers. It dramatically increased the number of online permit applications we receive, and resulted in a 10x increase in the number of electronic payments."
"A transformative product for our Organization."
"It is a product that is concerned about the user experience and the simplicity of the design and customer interface help drive its use and adoption. The visual workflow tells customers and employees exactly where a permit is in the review process, and the ease of configuring new forms and making tweaks to the workflow allows us to continually improve the customer experience and our reviews."
"Best software implementation I have ever experienced in local government"
"This software has allowed us to go completely paperless, has streamlined the permitting process, cut down on foot traffic into the office as well as phone calls checking on the status of permits. Customer Service has been very good, always quick to respond."
"Asset Management that works."
"Administrators can easily create and customize assets, end users can easily log their time, obtain detailed information and attach inspection/asset pictures. The ability to utilize automation is another favorite of ours.”
"OpenGov is one of the most useful software purchases we've made!"
"OpenGov staff are amazing. They are responsive, creative problem solvers, and care about their customers. We are implementing several of their products and their project managers are communicative, organized, and I never have to ask anything, they are always one step ahead of me."
"Rock solid implementation methodology sets OpenGov apart!"
"OpenGov's project team and the product itself enabled the City budget to easily move to the 21st century. In addition, with their help the City was able to get the 2021 budget done in record time with high user acceptance from department heads. The project team also was careful to explore many of the other compelling features of OpenGov, even if deploying those will come in this year. Specifically, Open Town Hall, Stories and the Transparency Portal are compelling for engaging constituents and building trust with citizens."
"Best e-Procurement platform period."
"I love the enthusiasm everyone in the Procurement module exhibit. You are all ready, willing, and able to help us be as successful as possible."
"The sky is the limit on what data can be collected."
“They are very responsive to our needs and problems. This program has worked out great for us and continues to help us communicate our story.”
