OpenGov, Inc. publicly launched OpenGov Financials, a new financial management solution that expands its cloud-based software offerings and unveils the industry’s first fully integrated cloud ERP designed exclusively for local government. OpenGov Financials is a complete financial system that allows governments to run their daily, mission-critical processes, as well as report, forecast and budget using one online platform. The software eliminates the need for many physical documents like timecards, invoices and cash receipts, and supports efficiency by reducing manual processes and heavy workloads.

OpenGov Financials works seamlessly with the company’s two other software suites, Budgeting & Planning, and Permitting, Licensing & Code Enforcement, all of which offer governments the ability to continue operations remotely in the face of a crisis like Covid-19. In addition, OpenGov’s Reporting & Transparency Platform—the company’s original award-winning reporting, data visualization, and communications suite—is now included for all new customers, supporting OpenGov’s mission to power more effective and accountable government. This combination creates the industry’s first full-cloud ERP built specifically for the public sector.
“Local governments and their financial executives have waited many years for a fully cloud-based ERP solution that is purpose-built for their needs,” said OpenGov CEO Zac Bookman. “This has been our vision since day one, and in light of the current crisis, it’s clear now more than ever that these old systems present a growing liability for cities and counties across the country. Aside from forcing staff to miss their kids’ practices and family dinners, they are cumbersome, open to security risks like ransomware attacks, and not available online. To effectively respond to a rapidly changing world, government leaders need flexible, modern technology that can enable remote work with high security, that breaks down silos and encourages collaborative data sharing, and that continuously improves based on their feedback. Accordingly, we are excited to see the impact that the OpenGov ERP Cloud will bring to leading administrators, staff, and stakeholders across the country.”
