Case Study: San Mateo County achieves streamlined finance operations with CentralSquare Technologies' Cloud

How the Cloud Helped Elevate the County’s (Finance) Operations

San Mateo County, California—home to over 700,000 residents and about 6,000 employees—needed to modernize its finance operations to meet the expectations of a tech-savvy community. A customer of CentralSquare Technologies since 1994, the county sought to streamline accessibility and workflows, reduce IT overhead, and reassure staff worried about data control by moving from an on‑premises system to the cloud using CentralSquare Cloud services.

CentralSquare Technologies migrated the county’s finance system to CentralSquare Cloud, assuming responsibility for infrastructure, backups, access recovery and 24/7 support while delivering configurable, role‑based workflows (for example, daily check exports) and automated payments and reports. The implementation reduced IT maintenance burden, freed staff time to focus on user experience and process improvements, sped up routine financial operations, and produced measurable efficiencies in time and resource allocation across county finance teams.
