Case Study: Pueblo County achieves faster, more accurate budget reporting with OpenGov

Pueblo County reduces monthly reporting time by 75% with OpenGov

Pueblo County, CO was facing significant challenges due to its reliance on a 30-year-old, homegrown financial software system. The outdated system was difficult to use, produced unreliable reports, and made it nearly impossible for staff to extract the data needed for effective budget planning and transparent communication. To overcome these obstacles, the county chose to implement OpenGov's online open data and budgeting platform.

With the OpenGov solution, Pueblo County dramatically improved its financial reporting and analysis. The platform complemented their existing ERP system, providing easy access to data and enabling accurate, timely reporting. As a result, staff time spent on monthly reporting was reduced by 75%. OpenGov also provided valuable insights for future-year projections and increased citizen understanding of the complex county budget, particularly for high-profile issues like marijuana tax revenue.
