Scranton, PA partnered with OpenGov to modernize its Enterprise Resource Planning system
The City of Scranton partnered with OpenGov to modernize its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The outdated system placed the city in a high-risk group for security breaches in its digital infrastructure. The decision to update the system followed a ransomware attack which targeted the city's non-emergency response networks. The new cloud-based system will reduce the city’s reliance on paperwork, increase visibility, and improve transparency.
