"The transparency movement for local government finances has been picking up steam in recent years."
"Over the past 12 years, we've gone through several attempts at a working asset management system internally. We've used various software programs, we've used paper entry with computer data entry later on [this] system has allowed us to all that in one package."
“We had a front office staff who transitioned from a receptionist role to more of a financial specialist role. So much of their time was freed up that they had a career progression to move over to finance.”
“As we explored more and did the research, we learned it made the most sense to move forward with the package deal with OpenGov Procurement because it really offered everything that we wanted and everything we need to move forward with efficiencies at the city."
“I wanted to give you (Procurement) huge kudos for this amazing procurement portal. It is clean, nice, easy to navigate, and access to all vendor info.”
“We totally need an OpenGov ‘easy button’ because it’s so EASY to use. We are literally in love, if you can love software.”
“OpenGov Procurement has helped streamline our projects through RFP solicitation, construction bidding and contract agreements. The time saved and efficiency of the program are a priceless addition to our procurement resources.”
“Right now we have 6 RFPs and 1 RFI open. Before OpenGov, we would’ve been drowning. But this software helps us stay organized, on track, and keeps it easy.”
“I tell my peers: ‘Run, don’t walk to OpenGov.’ Because they really have made it that easy.”
“OpenGov has so many capabilities, and yet it is fairly intuitive, so you don’t have to be a programmer to utilize it.”
“One of the benefits of transitioning to any new system, especially OpenGov, is that we, as a municipality… have to look at our processes. And the processes we go to may not be exactly the same as what we are used to, but they could be better if we give it a chance."
“We are always on the cutting edge. Our elected populace and dedicated staff are always looking to find new and innovative ways to help our community. For me, it’s not just coming to work to oversee accounting and budgeting needs, it’s coming to work to contribute toward really great initiatives.”
“OpenGov plays a pivotal part in implementing the comprehensive plan.”
“How do you take these plans, documents, and codes… How do you implement them so that they don’t just sit on the shelf and collect dust? And I think that’s where OpenGov really provided a solution for us.”
“What we have been able to do in our community here because of OpenGov and all that it offers is just miles and miles and miles.”
