City of Ashland saves $110K annually and cuts budget prep time 67% with OpenGov

The City of Ashland, Oregon, faced a budget process that lacked transparency and was hindered by its ERP system's inability to provide detailed reporting. Data compilation was a slow, manual process that created public distrust and required excessive staff resources. This led them to seek a cloud-based solution from OpenGov.

OpenGov implemented its cloud platform to streamline budgeting and reporting. The solution delivered substantial results, including $110,000 in annual savings from avoiding a new hire, a 67% reduction in staff time spent on budgeting, and the creation of the city's first interactive budget book. OpenGov's technology eliminated manual rework and provided real-time data access, which rebuilt trust with both the public and internal stakeholders.
