Case Study: Rogers County achieves award-winning budgeting efficiency with ClearGov

Rogers County slashes budgeting time from 700 hours to 20-40 with ClearGov

Rogers County, Oklahoma, faced an outdated and opaque budgeting process that relied on difficult-to-read state documents and a cumbersome collection of Excel spreadsheets controlled by a single person. This lack of transparency and collaboration created a high-stress environment for staff and elected officials. Seeking to modernize its practices and win the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the county turned to ClearGov's Digital Budget Book, Operational Budgeting, and Personnel Budgeting solutions.

By implementing ClearGov, Rogers County completely transformed its process. The solution provided the necessary tools and built-in checklists to win the GFOA award every year since adoption. The budgeting time was slashed from 700 hours to just 20-40 hours, and new scenario-planning capabilities brought precision to personnel costs. ClearGov also dramatically improved internal collaboration and external transparency, making complex financial data accessible to both staff and the public.
