ClearGov Named Preferred Budgeting Solution for Connecticut’s Capitol Region Council of Governments and Capitol Region Purchasing Council

MAYNARD, MA – ClearGov, a leader in local government cloud-native Budget Cycle Management software, has been recognized as the preferred budgeting solution for the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) and Capitol Region Purchasing Council (CRPC).

The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is a voluntary Council of Governments formed to initiate and implement regional programs to benefit the towns and the region. Among its many initiatives, the council helps members improve governmental efficiency and save tax dollars through shared services and other direct service initiatives.

After extensive evaluation of a variety of different budgeting software solutions, CRCOG and CRPC selected ClearGov as the preferred budgeting solution for its members. While using the software will inherently save local governments time and improve transparency with citizens, the partnership has the added benefit of saving them money.

Through this partnership, any member of CRCOG or CRPC that purchases ClearGov through CRCOG will get preferential pricing. This new purchasing opportunity makes it even easier for the over 100 local government entities in Connecticut that CRCOG and CRPC serve to have affordable and modern cloud-based software to improve the collection, creation, and communication of their annual budgets.

The ClearGov Budget Cycle Management suite offers everything a local government needs to create and communicate its budget from start to finish. The suite of integrated products simplifies and automates the budgeting process and saves governments time by eliminating manual processes and tedious spreadsheet consolidation.
