Technology improvements targeting the nerve center of city and county government \u2014 finance and budgeting departments \u2014 are improving accuracy, smoothing the way to data sharing and saving time for workers.<\/p>\n

Late last year, the city of Tigard, Ore., a Portland suburb with an annual budget of about $240 million, began using cloud-based budgeting technology from Euna Solutions, known as Euna Budget. That has made it easier for city officials to compile reports, manage finances and track changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis technology is reducing staff time through multiple avenues, both at the front end and back end of the systems,\u201d Kimberlee Ables, Tigard communications manager, said in an email.<\/p>\n


Data is more easily imported and exported across the city\u2019s enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool, allowing \u201cboth users and administrators to report on and look at variance analysis at a detailed level within their own budgets and see trends over years,\u201d Ables said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe imported and reconciled both Budgets and Actuals dating back to FY2023 to be able to use historical trends to forecast future budgets and create and utilize dashboards to report on and keep track of line-item specific budgets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

To fully understand the impact of introducing new technology into budgeting and finance, it helps to understand how manual and analogue the processes have traditionally been, a tedious network of spreadsheets and other documents, often disconnected.<\/p>\n

In fact, 39 percent of public-sector finance departments still rely on spreadsheets to manage their budgeting process, according to the Euna Solutions 2025 State of Public Budgeting Report.<\/p>\n

Modern budgeting and finance technology can bring budget data together in a centralized system, making it easier to manage and share.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is, it\u2019s forcing all of your data into a single structure \u2026 and it\u2019s securing it, because it\u2019s in our system,\u201d Mykola…<\/p>\n
