It also illustrates the growing need for government to run smarter operations—less paper shuffling, less redundancy, and fewer legislative cycles,” said Tom Spengler, Granicus CEO and Co-Founder. “With public scrutiny on government at an all time high, Granicus is experiencing an upward sales trend. Governments are partnering with us now more than ever to help them achieve maximum legislative transparency and cost-efficiency results,” added Spengler.
