“We were really looking for an end-to-end solution, where all the information was exported from our finance system, as well as one that would deliver us a final product that we could then take to the City Manager and Council for their review.”

“Now that it’s up and running, [department staff] see how much easier it’s made their life. They’re not doing data entry anymore. And our auditors, internal and external, love it because now we’re getting money right up front, where before we weren’t. So our revenue has almost doubled because of OpenGov.”

“Now we’re looking at [data] and seeing that as a resource, to not only look at data descriptively but to use it predictively, to use models for the exploitation of patterns in our data, and to make projections going forward. That all goes into eventually streamlining processes and making for a better customer experience.”
