Case Study: Boulder County achieves more transparent, data-driven budgeting with OpenGov

How Boulder County Climbed to Efficiency

Boulder County needed a better way to manage a growing, increasingly complex budgeting process. Before OpenGov, the county relied on a homegrown tool, scattered spreadsheets, and manual document assembly, which made forecasting, collaboration, and aligning strategic priorities across departments difficult.

With OpenGov’s government-focused budgeting and planning solution, Boulder County streamlined budget preparation, improved cross-department input, and built more robust decision packages for commissioners. The county also created interactive, public-facing budget books that support accessibility requirements, helping improve transparency and compliance while reducing reliance on spreadsheets and disparate files.
