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 The team observed dedicated public servants struggle against outdated technology that prevented them from accessing timely spending information and communicating their priorities to citizens and elected officials.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.
“I had direct access to OpenGov’s customer success team, even on weekends. That kind of responsiveness makes a big difference.”
“We’ve gone back and adjusted our business processes to ensure the data in our financial system is as accurate as possible. Then we quickly pull it out of our ERP and get the information into OpenGov.”
“Being a small municipality and going from paper, to a new system, to another new system within a year was quite a hurdle. But I am thankful that we were able to work through that funding mechanism and adopt something as transformative as OpenGov.”
