Promote transparency and build trust.

Increasing transparency and accountability remains a top initiative in government. Transparency strengthens public trust and instills confidence in democracy. Granicus specializes in helping government leaders promote open government using the latest technologies, including online video, citizen collaboration, and powerful legislative research tools located centrally on your website. Our goal is to simplify public access to the democratic process. With Granicus, your audiences can instantly research, subscribe to, and share public meeting topics and legislation that interests them most.

Run the most efficient legislative process.

Granicus technologies are proven to help elected officials attain the highest levels of efficiency in their public meetings and throughout the legislative process. Thousands of governing bodies use our touch-screen voting and digital agenda and minutes solutions to significantly reduce amount of time, manual effort, and paper required to process legislation. This results in streamlined legislative workflows from start to finish. These technologies also provide fast and convenient ways to review your meeting materials instantly online and on-the-go with our paperless agenda iPad app. They even streamline your recordkeeping process — ensuring your actions and decisions are accurately recorded, retained, and distributed.

Encourage citizen involvement.

Citizen involvement is vital to democracy. Elected officials want to encourage participation through new technologies; however, finding an efficient way to manage and respond is always a challenge. Granicus simplifies this through a convenient web-based forum. We help you collect, track, and manage input and ideas from the community about the policy, programs, and services that matter most to them. We also give your staff the tools to easily manage and measure this feedback to help you stay responsive.

Granicus offers the leading iPad application for paperless agendas, it’s called iLegislate. Elected members use it to review meeting agendas and supporting documents, annotate notes, bookmark items of interest, and even playback archived meeting videos. Because agenda data syncs automatically to our legislative solutions and the Granicus cloud, there is no risk of data loss and you always have the latest version of the agenda packet at your fingertips.
