"It really brought the budget closer to the people and made it more understandable."
“We had a shared drive, 25+ Excel spreadsheets, and as many Word documents that had to be moved and updated numerous times during the budget process. OpenGov has really changed that process for us in a positive way.”
“The [OpenGov] system is really easy to roll out. The other piece of that gradual rollout was the willingness to say ‘it may not be 100% perfect the day that we go live, but it’s so easy to change. We’re not going to need a programmer. We can do these things ourselves.’ We were willing to go live and tweak things as needed.”
“OpenGov has made budgeting a lot more collaborative. It catches mistakes before they're even problems because everything is right there in front of you.”
“Our old open data portal was just a repository of open data sets. Essentially, the open data was being measured in terms of quantity, not quality. And, as a result, it made it harder for our site to be useful.”
“We have already had a couple of instances of engaging on social media where we responded to some comments to correct misinformation by linking directly to the correct information in OpenGov.”
“OpenGov’s Budget Book is very powerful, It is advancing us not only in technology, but also in efficiency by providing incredible options for linking to datasets and creating charts and visualizations right in the budget documents.”
“A Crosswalk Between Systems, Enabling Access to Historical Data.”
“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.”
“It definitely met our needs as far as ease of use for staff. That was key for us, and we received quite a few compliments that it was easy to use.”
“OpenGov was a dream to implement. It was on time and on budget.”
“OpenGov is a good tool for departments that aren’t as savvy with complex software without putting in a lot of time.”
“I saw demonstrations at ICMA’s annual conferences, and was pretty impressed by [OpenGov’s] features.”
"Pleased by OpenGov’s simplicity."
“Public Works uses the tools in great detail, and are phenomenal in their reporting and council updates as a result.”
