“We view OpenGov as a strategic partner. They’ve taken the time to listen to what we wanted and built a true partnership with us. You don’t see that at other software companies -- especially bigger software companies like SAP where we never would get that interaction. Their responsiveness and collaboration is impressive.”
“With Cartegraph, we have everything we need in one place. Everyone can access it, communicate with each other, and keep things running smoothly. It’s made a huge difference in our department.”
“Though our population has grown 16 percent since 2010, we’d maintained our staffing levels with no new hires since before the Recession. We realized that, at some point, we had to increase staffing to maintain service levels, and we determined we needed new public works and parks employees just to stay on top of everything.”
"If it had not been for OpenGov, I'm not sure when we would have gotten the budget done."
"If you take a risk and aren't afraid of the technology that's available, you may just find that life becomes easier, work becomes more efficient, you get more done, and it becomes a better work product."
"Affordable homes, good paying jobs, reliable mass transit, and an overarching view of resiliency and sustainability -- that's what OpenGov allows us to track."
“Overall, I can only hope all adoptions of new processes/technology go as smoothly as this did. The keys to success were constant communication with the installer community for testing, and making sure all stakeholders were aware of changes and able to immediately provide feedback.”
“I want the city of Savannah stakeholders to have a full, clear, and present understanding of what's happening in the government where there are no secrets.”
“Cartegraph has helped to completely change the mindset on where we need to be investing our money in the City. It helps me build accurate budget estimates so that we avoid waste, and don’t put too much money in one pot and leave somewhere else short.”
“To Sugar Land, transparency means ensuring that residents feel that we are accessible and open. We want them to understand the ‘why’ behind decisions we make, policies we enact, or programs we offer, even if they don’t agree with the why.”
“We are working smarter, not harder with the use of technology, and that really is a result of what we are doing with OpenGov.”
“Working in procurement is rewarding. I get to work on all the projects the City works on, and I enjoy working with my staff.”
“The procurement team at Groveland allowed us to look at the software from a real-time perspective, not just a demo perspective. That was really helpful.”
“We used to use Word documents and email communication to get everyone at the college to identify their needs, and that can take months to complete. Now, we can get the same work done in just two to three days.”
“We were specifically looking for a solution that was flexible, covered all our infrastructure assets, had advanced reporting capabilities, would integrate with our GIS, and provide a measureable return on investment."
