Created by Government for Government

What is GovMax?

GovMax is a governmental web-based application that integrates budgeting with long-term strategic planning, business planning, and performance management. It was developed by Sarasota County to help public sector agencies maximize performance, investments and results. GovMax is the only integrated system of its type designed specifically for government organizations. Use of GovMax results in greater staff and technology efficiency, better accountability for the value of services delivered, and more effective means of communicating outcomes to the community served.

GovMax is a government budgeting system that integrates strategic planning, budgeting (both operating and capital) and performance management. GovMax is delivered as a 'Software as a Service' (SaaS) solution that allows infrastructure investment and subject matter expertise to be shared across all partner organizations resulting in a lower overall Total Cost of Ownership. It is a hosted cloud application solution, installed and maintained at Sarasota County’s Data Center. There is no hardware or software to buy, all you need is an Internet connection and an HTML5 compliant browser.

GovMax can help you achieve:

  • Reduced data editing/verification time; because GovMax has one central repository for all budget data, there are no "shadow" systems to merge or re-key.
  • Reduced budget book preparation time from weeks to days, and
  • Reduced to no overtime associated with the budget document preparation.
