What believers are saying

  • Granicus' strategic acquisitions, such as SmartGov and Rock Solid Technology, expand its capabilities and market reach, solidifying its position as a leader in GovTech.
  • The company's consistent recognition on the GovTech 100 list and as a top workplace by BuiltIn highlights its strong industry reputation and positive work environment.
  • The appointment of experienced executives like Jordan Copland as CFO and Suzanne Behrens as CMO indicates a robust leadership team poised for growth and innovation.

What critics are saying
