Status: Resolved
Update: We have completed numerous enhancements in the past month following performance issues in early November. As a result, both users and internal monitoring systems are showing notably improved query and workflow performance. Although our recent fixes have been very effective, we will continue to work to improve even further. We have additional enhancements planned through the end of the calendar year and into 2024. These will increase resiliency for our users and provide OpenGov with advanced visibility to identify future issues before they arise.
Based on these improvements and over 2 weeks of consistent performance, we are closing the related cases today. If your issue is still unresolved, or if you have other ongoing performance concerns, please open a new support ticket. This will help document any ongoing customer issues for the OpenGov support team.
As mentioned in an earlier update, OpenGov has shifted our Permitting & Licensing roadmap priorities to a focus on performance, scale, and quality. We have recently stepped up our efforts to resolve customer-reported defects, and we are focused on small, carefully qualified improvements to our suite that will be meaningful for your community.
We are extending current timelines for the release of larger upcoming features. We acknowledge that this will impact technology planning for some communities, but we believe that the focus of our stability efforts is the right thing for our customers. For the latest information on our roadmap, we encourage you to join our quarterly product highlights webinar or regional user groups.
We remain committed to partnering with you to bring the cloud to our nation's governments. Our intention is to continue rebuilding your trust, delivering value, and advancing OpenGov’s mission to power more effective and accountable government. Thank you for your continued partnership.

Update: This is an update on our work to improve your communities’ overall experience with OpenGov’s Permitting & Licensing suite. We have made over a dozen performance enhancements in the last 14 days. As a result, both users and our internal monitoring systems are showing improved response times. However, we still see opportunities for improvement. We are planning to implement several additional enhancements by December 1st that are expected to restore performance for our Permitting & Licensing users.
In addition, OpenGov is shifting roadmap priorities with a primary focus on performance, scale, and quality. As a result, we are extending current timelines for the release of upcoming features, including pausing the rollout of the enhanced Inspection Scheduling and Flexible Workflow capabilities. We acknowledge that this will impact technology planning for some communities, but we believe that focusing our efforts on the stability of the platform will be the most beneficial for our customers.
We are committed to listening to our customers and partnering with all of you to bring the cloud to our nation's governments. We are very grateful for your partnership and remain focused on using these recent events to rebuild trust, deliver more value, and to continue to power more effective and accountable government.
