OpenGov Budgeting & Planning

Web-based

Windows

This has been the best, most time-saving purchase for us. Customer service is outstanding.

Assistant Comptroller

Open gov came in and did their part and it seems like a great tool especially when they are operating it. IT is easy to use once they set it the budget that you need.

Assistant Information Technology Director

The budgetary and supplemental views can be very confusing.

Treasurer

In addition,  with their help the City was able to get the 2021 budget done in record time with high user acceptance from department heads.

Enterprise GIS and Open Data Manager

The ease of use and flexibility to customize the appearance and functionality of the dashboards is the biggest pro of this platform.

Auditor

Some areas are difficult to navigate --you have to make some assumptions not mentioned in the instruction manual.

Budget & Management Analyst

The implementation process had a few still gaps like the PCF that discouraged us a little but of course, OpenGov heard our cries.

OpenGov has revolutionized our budget and reporting process. I could not have imagined how it would set the tone of our entire budget process.  The entire agency has adapted to it from budget development, implementation to reporting. I often think about how I could not imagine the budget process without OpenGov, especially during the time of the pandemic.  For a small budget office like ours, OpenGov is like having an extra member of the team!

Revolutionized our Budget Process

At first you trust the company. as time goes by you lose faith in the company itself (not reliable and need to do things yourself) I get a feeling I know more of the software than the workers there.

Use and look through the software carefully in demo!!

OpenGov's project team and the product itself enabled the City budget to easily move to the 21st century.  In addition,  with their help the City was able to get the 2021 budget done in record time with high user acceptance from department heads.

The project team also was careful to explore many of the other compelling features of OpenGov, even if deploying those will come in this year.  Specifically, Open Town Hall, Stories and the Transparency Portal are compelling for engaging constituents and building trust with citizens.  

Rock solid implementation methodology sets OpenGov apart!

Great for transparency!!

OpenGov Suite Review

OpenGov Review by HHSA Tulare County

The customer service has to be the most impressing.  From training our staff, to always answering emails with assistance, we have truly appreciated the level of service.

Going from Excel to the Cloud

I have used budget builder, book creation through Workiva.  Our City has dashboards, reporting, workforce, and stories but we have not used them yet.

Making Budgeting Easier

Great for everyday users

Worked well for communicating budget information to Finance Commissioners and provides easy access to the public. Looking to use more of the functionality to stream line monthly dashboards for management review.

We are excited to be able to have more ability to project future budgets as well as eliminate several spreadsheets that we have used in the past for personnel projections.
