“The one thing we realized is that though we have business applications across the enterprise, we didn’t have one to handle something as complex as CARES Act funding. We wanted to be proactive, and we wanted an application that was flexible and served our needs and the needs of our local municipalities.”
CFO & Treasurer - County of Middlesex, NJ
“With on-premise, we would never have gone from 40 to 67 permit types implemented across eight departments with speed and agility.”
CIO - City of Salem, MA
“Having something that is so immediate when one day [of business] means possibly paying rent or not, the quickness, the efficiency, the speed of modern permitting has been invaluable to us.”
Small Business Owner - City of Portsmouth, NH
“A foundation existed from which to build a COVID-19 response. [Permitting] was seamless. Staff was so experienced in using [OpenGov] and likewise, restaurants had familiarity with [OpenGov], so I’d say we were well prepared.”
