The Changing Face of Digital Government

WEBINAR RECORDING

Governments are increasingly called on to solve difficult problems for their constituents and deliver critical services using limited resources. However, for too long, the tools governments need to centralize their data and gain new operational intelligence – enabling better service provision – haven’t existed.

The emergence and widespread adoption of new government-focused innovations is changing this trend. From delivering rapid data-driven insights to managers and legislators to enhancing public trust, governments of all sizes are leveraging these powerful technologies and benefitting their entire organization.

In this video, Stephen Goldsmith, the former Mayor of Indianapolis and current Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government joins OpenGov CEO Zac Bookman and Co-Founder Nate Levine, to discuss the challenges governments face in the digital age and how OpenGov, the leading cloud platform for financial and performance reporting, budgeting, and transparency, helps leaders solve them.

In this video, you will learn:

  • How OpenGov can help your government identify and respond to serious and complex challenges such as ensuring fiscal sustainability in a period of rising pension costs and maintaining infrastructure.
  • How leading governments are streamlining operational reporting, enhancing the budget process, and building public trust with OpenGov.
  • How emerging developments in fields such as data science will inform and enhance benchmarking and budgeting across the government.
