City of Watsonville, California, Launches OpenGov Partnership for Local Government Budgeting Software

A deep dive into a budget evaluation for the City of Watsonville, CA, ended with a partnership between the City and OpenGov, the leader in modern cloud software for our nation’s cities.

Leaders of the City, located south of Santa Cruz, were on the hunt for a budget solution and put out an extensive RFP for the answer, with several vendors submitting. When they reached out to OpenGov for help, the OpenGov team reviewed Watsonville’s needs and recommended an end-to-end budget solution. City leaders recognized the value in such a collaborative solution and chose for their  local government budgeting software OpenGov Budgeting & Planning.

OpenGov Budgeting & Planning provides City staff the ability to collaborate across departments as they develop the budget and track its performance. Plus, OpenGov’s solution centralizes reporting to make sense of the data and see what is affecting budget performance, allowing leaders to make better decisions for the future of their community. By being able to visualize real-time data, staff can be more strategic, improve decision-making, and take action if needed. These reports also can be easily shared internally and with the public as City leaders grow public trust.

The City of Watsonville joins more than 1,100 public sector organizations leveraging OpenGov to revolutionize work processes with cloud-based software designed specifically for the needs of government.
