DENVER-- Granicus, the leading provider of cloud-based software solutions and digital engagement services for the public sector, today announced that the subscriber base of citizens who have opted-in to multi-channel communications with their governments through the govDelivery platform now totals over 200 million people, the largest network of its kind.

Granicus’ Subscriber Network utilizes a proprietary, machine learning-based recommendation engine, built from several hundred million subscriptions and billions of interactions to create an unprecedented ‘reach effect’. Granicus’ engine suggests additional, valued connections that rapidly expand digital community membership and enables a unique level of direct, personalized connection between government and citizens.

Each new subscriber adds to govDelivery’s ability to help governments build active and engaged communities by connecting individuals to the services, events, meetings, and other government activities that affect their lives. Not only do these connections make an impact on people’s relationships with their governments and create a meaningful citizen experience, they enable government organizations with insights into citizen needs.

Each day, an additional 30,000 people subscribe to receive personalized information on the subjects and services from their government that are important to them. Our insights from those connections enable customers to deliver better citizen journeys and more engaged communities,” said Granicus CEO Mark Hynes. “The 200 million subscriber milestone is a significant reminder of the benefits that come with scale. Our unmatched reach and unified platform enables new government customers to rapidly build, grow and engage their digital audience.”

Over 4,200 public sector organizations rely on Granicus to help reach a broader audience and leverage effective digital communication strategies to improve outcomes and program success. Granicus customers include each of the cabinet-level departments of the U.S. federal government, all 50 state governments, 48 of the largest 50 cities in the U.S., and over 300 government organizations in the U.K.

The 200 millionth citizen in Granicus’ Subscriber Network signed up to connect with the U.S. Department of Labor through Granicus’ govDelivery communications software. The Department of Labor has nearly doubled their subscribers from 800,000 in 2016 to 1.5 million citizen subscribers today. With a communication engagement rate approaching 50%, DOL is interacting with the public in a way that is both relevant and targeted, ensuring that the right messages get delivered to the broadest and most responsive audiences.

“Granicus helps government build active digital communities. Whether it’s informing millions of veterans about a new program, helping residents apply for permits or pay fees, or manage a graffiti clean-up request, Granicus allows government to connect efficiently on a massive scale” added Hynes.
