Northlake, TX builds cloud resilience after a 2-day ice storm with OpenGov

The City of Northlake, TX faced severe operational vulnerability when natural disasters and infrastructure accidents paralyzed its on-premise systems. A massive ice storm halted payroll and communications, while a later severed data line cut off server access, highlighting a critical need for resilience. These events catalyzed the search for a cloud-based ERP solution, which they found with OpenGov.

By implementing OpenGov Cloud Software, Northlake freed its operations from physical location and gained stable, accessible systems. The OpenGov solution provided the platform for reliable governance during disruptions and supported the town's rapid growth, allowing officials to plan confidently for the future. The finance director summarized the impact as the ability to sleep peacefully at night, knowing things are stable.
