OpenGov Expands Government ERP Footprint to 38 States as Governments Consolidate Operations for the AI Era

Growth shows increased demand for unified platforms that connect every department in
local and state government

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenGov, the company powering the AI platform for local and state government, today announced continued expansion of its government ERP business, with its footprint now extending across more than 38 states, including new ERP deployments this year in Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon, and Virginia.

The growth reflects a broader shift among local and state governments replacing disconnected systems with unified platforms that connect financial and operational work, create a trusted foundation for AI, and give employees a more effective way to serve their communities.

"Government ERP is being redefined," said Eric DiProspero, chief revenue officer at OpenGov. "For decades, ERP was primarily a transactional financial system. That era is ending. We're building the next generation alongside our customers, connecting finance, budgeting, procurement, people, utilities, infrastructure, and operations around shared data and workflows. That gives governments a stronger operating foundation today and prepares them to take advantage of AI tomorrow."

OpenGov is also changing how government ERP gets implemented. Product experts and government subject-matter experts work directly with customers through a purpose-built implementation model designed to get agencies live faster. For some deployments, that means timelines measured in months, not years.

The Town of Frederick, Colorado, has expanded its OpenGov partnership to a full enterprise platform, adding Financial Management, Budgeting & Performance, Utility Billing, and Grants Management to its existing Enterprise Asset Management and Permitting & Licensing implementations. OpenGov streamlines time-intensive financial processes, including journal entries that currently require more than 20 hours of staff time each week. It also centralizes grant tracking, compliance, and reporting, creating a more organized and reliable way to manage more than 400 grant opportunities.

The City of Plattsburgh, New York, selected OpenGov for a citywide ERP transformation spanning financial management, payroll, permitting and licensing, tax and revenue, and utility billing. Serving approximately 20,000 residents, the City is replacing long-standing systems to better support complex financial operations and eliminate paper-based workflows after identifying challenges with slow system performance, fragmented workflows, and reliance on manual processes. The City is consolidating systems to reduce complexity and create a more seamless experience for both staff and residents.

OpenGov builds its Public Service Platform with the governments that use it, with customer needs and practical workflows helping shape how the technology evolves. That includes bringing together accounting, asset management, billing and revenue, budgeting, grants management, human capital management, permitting, purchasing, and other government functions through a common data model.

That connected foundation is increasingly important as governments adopt AI.

With OG Assist, OpenGov's built-in AI, government teams can surface information, work with data, and complete tasks directly within the workflows they already use, while operating within the permissions and controls of their existing OpenGov environment.

"AI raises the stakes for modernization," DiProspero said. "You cannot build an AI-ready government on fragmented systems and disconnected data. The governments that will get the greatest value from AI are building a unified operating foundation today, where their data and workflows can work together."
