What it is

OpenGov Budgeting & Performance is a cloud-based platform for state and local governments to build, manage, and publish budgets. It connects operating budgets, workforce planning, capital projects, and performance reporting in a collaborative system. Modules include Operating Budget, Workforce Planning, Capital Planning, Online Budget Book, Financial Reporting, and Performance Management. Teams can use approval workflows, scenario planning, actual-versus-budget views, multi-entity budgeting, and accounting integrations. Workforce Planning supports personnel decisions, forecasting, union negotiations, and personnel cost modeling. Capital Planning supports collecting, prioritizing, and evaluating proposals, with related reports, dashboards, and project pages. OG Assist answers plain-language questions about budget, workforce, and performance data, and can generate narratives, compare year-over-year changes, and explain variances. The online budget book tool publishes digital budget books, capital plans, and strategic reports. OpenGov says its Financial Management product shares a platform with Budgeting & Performance, natively connecting budget data and actuals without integrations or manual reconciliation. Pricing is on request; Performance Management is an add-on.
