Case Study: Diamond Bar achieves streamlined, collaborative budgeting and a polished budget book with OpenGov

How Diamond Bar enhanced their budget process with OpenGov’s end-to-end budgeting solution

Diamond Bar, California (pop. ~57,000; $29M annual budget) faced a slow, error-prone budget process built on fragmented Excel files that limited collaboration and produced an inaccessible, numbers-focused budget book with low public engagement. City staff wanted an end-to-end solution to centralize data, simplify workflows, and produce a clearer final document for City Manager, Council, and residents.

By implementing OpenGov Budget Builder and OpenGov Budget Book (Wdesk), Diamond Bar moved to a centralized, collaborative platform with fast implementation and well-received training. The result: simultaneous multi-user budgeting, real-time commenting and approvals, a polished, easy-to-understand budget book ready for awards and public review, and measurable time savings that free the Finance Director to focus on strategic priorities.
