Case Study: Boulder County achieves faster, more efficient budgeting with OpenGov

How Boulder County, CO Makes Budgeting Fun While Increasing Efficiency

Boulder County struggled with a tedious, manual budgeting process in Excel, including frequent amendments, manual data entry from its ERP system, and time-consuming IT support. The county turned to OpenGov Budgeting & Planning to replace static spreadsheets and simplify budgeting, reporting, and online budget book creation.

With OpenGov, Boulder County implemented a fully integrated, government-specific budgeting system in less than a year, enabling automatic budget balancing and seamless ERP data flow. The county adopted its FY23 budget entirely in OpenGov, sped up its Online Budget Book by months, and reduced clerical work so staff could focus more on analysis and transparency.
