Fremont, Ohio Ushers in New Era of Government Innovation with OpenGov ERP
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The City of Fremont, Ohio is raising the bar for what's possible by becoming the first city in the Buckeye State to implement the OpenGov ERP, powered by OpenGov, the leader in AI and ERP solutions for local and state governments. The move positions Fremont as a trailblazer in Ohio, leveraging modern technology to streamline operations, empower staff, and deliver more transparent, accountable service to its residents.
With its legacy financial system nearing expiration and staff burdened by time-intensive manual processes, Fremont's leadership recognized the urgency to act. Determined to deliver real value to its community, the City made a bold and strategic move: adopting OpenGov ERP, a cloud-based ERP suite purpose-built for the unique needs of the public sector, to streamline operations, enhance visibility, and empower teams with real-time data access.
'At OpenGov, we believe public service is personal,' said Eric DiProspero, chief revenue officer at OpenGov. 'We strive to bring best-in-class technology and a new approach to delivering a modern ERP to the local government finance professionals that deserve a trusted partner and innovative technology that helps them do their job and deliver service. The City of Fremont staff is setting the pace for what a modern digital city looks like.'
Historically, Fremont has operated with a fragmented approach—financial operations housed in a siloed legacy system, while budgeting occurred in spreadsheets. City leaders prioritized three core needs in their ERP search: full platform integration, powerful drill-down capabilities, and a budgeting tool that works with staff—not against them. OpenGov stood out not only for delivering on all fronts, but also for its track record of helping early adopters thrive long-term.
The Fremont team will be able to eliminate redundant manual reporting, access real-time financial insights, and streamline budget development in ways that simply weren't possible before. And as Ohio's first city to go live with OpenGov ERP, Fremont is poised to help shape the future of ERP in the region.
'Modernizing our financial infrastructure was a must, but finding the right partner was even more important,' said Paul Grahl, City Auditor of Fremont. 'We chose OpenGov because it aligns with our vision for transparency, efficiency, and long-term success. With this partnership, we're not just implementing a new system—we're building the foundation for the next era of city government.'
Fremont joins a growing network of forward-thinking governments leveraging OpenGov ERP to deliver greater impact with every dollar and decision. Other Ohio cities using solutions in the OpenGov Public Service Platform include Gahanna, North Canton, and Hilliard.
