PatternStream for State and Local Government

FML implemented PatternStream at the County of Santa Clara, California to publish the county’s Recommended and Final Budget documents from their BRASS database in 1999. Since then FML has implemented a variety of solutions for state and local governments.

PatternStream has been sold to more than 34 school districts and city, county, and state governments for budget, capital improvement program (CIP), and comprehensive annual financial reports (CAFR) document publishing.
