Governments Across the US Are Revolutionizing Their Permitting & Licensing Processes
More Effective Government
“The City of Gary does not have a big budget. So, if you can free up that staff time [using cloud software technology] to be able to be more targeted, then you can start to make City government more effective in the long-term, to be more proactive because your head is now starting to get above water and you can start to swim towards where you want to go rather than just trying to reach the surface.”
Eric Boria, Director of Zoning - Gary, Indiana
Connecting The Dots
“We can now see through OpenGov how [our] initiatives aligned. We never had that ability before. We’ve never been able to connect the dots.”
Eric DeSmidt, Database Technician - Mundelein, Illinois
