Case Study: Burleson, Texas achieves enhanced transparency and 35+ days of staff time saved with Swagit by Granicus

How Burleson, TX Enhanced Transparency with Swagit

Burleson, Texas — a fast-growing, 53,000-resident commuter city — wanted to increase transparency and give residents flexible access to public meetings. Before adopting a technology solution, staff relied on handheld recorders and had no streaming, transcription, or search capability, limiting engagement and requiring in-person attendance.

By deploying Swagit by Granicus, Burleson now streams 50+ council and planning meetings annually with on-demand video, closed captioning, and searchable transcripts. The solution improved ADA compliance, expanded resident access to historical meetings, saved more than 35 staff days, and let the city operate with fewer full-time hires while keeping officials on message.
