Case Study: Diamond Bar streamlines budgeting and improves public engagement with OpenGov

Diamond Bar streamlines budgeting and saves 18 hours with OpenGov

The City of Diamond Bar, California, faced a challenge with low citizen engagement in its budget process and an inefficient internal planning system reliant on error-prone spreadsheets. To address this, the city implemented OpenGov's end-to-end budgeting solution, specifically OpenGov Budget Builder and OpenGov Budget Book.

OpenGov's platform streamlined the internal process by providing a centralized, collaborative environment for department heads to work simultaneously. This resulted in a significantly improved and easier-to-understand final budget document. The solution saved staff time, improved internal collaboration, and produced a budget book that is anticipated to increase public engagement and be submitted for awards.
