TORONTO & CHICAGO: Euna Solutions®, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based solutions for the public sector, today announced a new strategic partnership with Funkhouser & Associates (F&A), a public sector consulting firm, led by former Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser that specializes in state and local government strategic planning. The partnership enables local governments to leverage Euna’s best-of-breed budgeting software with F&A’s approach to developing data-driven and sustainably funded strategic plans and budgets.
“Modern strategic leadership and planning requires combining data and technology with vision and stakeholder input,” said Abhi Nemani, Senior Vice President of Euna Solutions and former Chief Data Officer for the City of Los Angeles. “Funkhouser & Associates brings a depth of expertise and experience with strategic planning, and we are excited to see more public agencies benefit from this knowledge as they implement Euna’s purpose-built strategic budgeting tools.”
The partnership aims to raise awareness of strategic budgeting as a transformative approach for local governments. In addition to knowledge sharing through thought leadership pieces, white papers, informational webinars, and case studies, Euna and F&A also will join forces to combine consulting services with implementation support and purpose-built software tools.
“Governments face complex challenges as well as opportunities in today’s fiscal, political, and technological environment,” said Mark Funkhouser, President at Funkhouser & Associates. “It is more critical now than ever, that we marshal all the resources at our disposal to help leaders serve and communities thrive. And collaboration is the key.”
To launch this joint effort, the two firms have co-written "Strategic Planning In a Time of Change: Plays to Build Capacity in Local Government," based on roundtables with city leaders and insights from both F&A’s and Euna’s practice areas. The playbook provides strategic leadership guidance, showcases actionable technological strategies for operational efficiency, and offers real-world insights on managing change in today's dynamic environments.
Teaming up, Funkhouser & Associates and Euna Solutions will synergistically leverage the core competencies of both firms in support of their clients. F&A’s clients will have the opportunity to explore how tools such as Euna Budget, as well as Euna’s procurement and grants management systems, can ensure that strategic plans are translated into action and sustainably funded. Conversely, Euna Solutions will refer customers requiring strategic planning consulting to Funkhouser & Associates. Both firms will jointly respond to RFPs for strategic planning and budgeting projects, thus maximizing the impact of their combined strengths.
Goals for the partnership include:
Benefits of the partnership to local governments include:
The partnership with Funkhouser & Associates follows Euna’s recent announcement of a new partnership with Polco, a civic engagement and analytics company.
“Strategic partnerships like these reflect our shared commitment to supporting the important work of public sector organizations,” said Nemani. “Through the combined expertise, technical support and the right tools, we can help ensure that local government plans and budgets are aligned with community priorities and needs, fiscal decisions are data-driven, and government staff is equipped to deliver positive results.”
