“OpenGov works well for both the applicant, making it simple and straightforward, but has a sophisticated back-end to meet strict audit standards. With OpenGov we were able to efficiently process 175 applications in just 14 days.”
“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.”
“We contract out building and safety services, traffic engineering services, and order quality services. They’re all partners with us, when reviewing plans or issuing permits. The ability for us all to work together on the same page and in the same system has been really advantageous for everyone involved.”
“Rosenberg is rapidly changing from a rural area to a suburban area. It’s blowing up. There is new construction happening every single day.”
“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.”
