OpenGov was founded in 2012 by Zac Bookman, Joe Lonsdale, and technologists from Stanford University, who studied government budgeting in the aftermath of the Great Recession. The team observed dedicated public servants struggle against outdated technology that prevented them from accessing timely spending information and communicating their priorities to citizens and elected officials. Believing there was a better way, the team set out to build cloud-based, easy-to-use government performance solutions to power more open, effective, and accountable government. Today over 1,800 public agencies in 48 states form a growing network leveraging OpenGov to achieve better budgeting, improved reporting and operational performance, and comprehensive transparency and open data. OpenGov solutions drive impact by giving governments the right tools and relevant data for more informed decision-making and better outcomes for the public.
"Data is the new hammer. Having that data in the field, with the iPad, is a great benefit to any utility, any public works, any government. It is a true worker's app. It gives the worker in the field exactly what they need to see, and it helps them to complete their work more efficiently."
“Now when people have questions about student fees, we can quickly show them any of the information they want in an easy-to-use, interactive format, There is definitely that ‘wow’ moment when students see the platform. Visualizing our budget shows students how a specific line item fits in the entire budget. They see the big picture."
“The health of our residents, property owners and workforce are paramount, and by introducing OpenGov’s modern workflow software, we can enhance our vital Building Department services during the current pandemic, as well as in the future.”
