Florida Seacoast Utility Authority Launches Local Government Budgeting Software Partnership with OpenGov

After facing obstacles with their local government budgeting software, officials from Florida’s Seacoast Utility Authority launched a partnership with OpenGov, the leader in modern cloud software for our nation’s cities, for an updated solution.

The Authority, located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, furnishes potable water services to the region. Staff had been using a custom Microsoft-based software to develop the budget. But they faced several challenges in calculating payroll, operations and maintenance, and capital projects. Plus, they needed a robust reporting platform. They found the answer to all their needs in OpenGov Budgeting & Planning.

With OpenGov Budgeting & Planning, Authority staff will be able to:

• Visualize trends in spending and model proposed budget changes to enhance decision-making and take appropriate action as they strive to be stewards of taxpayer dollars.
• Forecast long-term capital expenses as they build, analyze, and measure Capital Improvement Plans within the portal.
• Publish an interactive, comprehensive online budget that is easy to understand and builds public trust.

The Seacoast Utility Authority 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.
