Case Study: City of Fredericksburg, TX achieves faster, more transparent budget planning with OpenGov

Fredericksburg, TX Moves Budget Planning “Years Forward” With OpenGov

The City of Fredericksburg, TX was struggling with an outdated, manual budgeting process built on paper, Excel, and hard-copy approvals, which made updates slow, communication cumbersome, and public input difficult. The city needed a better way to develop and manage its budget, and turned to OpenGov budgeting software to modernize the process.

OpenGov helped Fredericksburg move to a real-time, collaborative digital budgeting system and create its first online budget book in just a few months. The result was a more transparent and efficient workflow, stronger communication with city leaders and the public, and more time for strategic work and special projects; city staff said they were achieving better results in less time and with less effort.
