Novotx vs. OpenGov (formerly Cartegraph)

Buying and glueing isn't our thing.

Choose a unified, cohesive platform built by the same team.

See the Magic

Cartegraph was purchased by growth-by-acquisition focused OpenGov, who has since been acquired by Cox Enterprises. As Cartegraph morphs into OpenGov and as Cox Enterprises now takes hold, Novotx continues to deliver new ideas and consistent innovation to utilities and local governments everywhere. 

In place of buying software and glueing pieces together, Novotx has taken a different approach. Our platform has been designed and built by the same team from the beginning; no separate pieces to integrate, just a truly cohesive and comprehensive solution.

Why choose Novotx over OpenGov?

OpenGov is a huge platform with many components - many of which built by different companies at different times, acquired then glued together.

We don't think that welding the driver side from a Ford to the passenger side of a Chevy works very well, so we've built our own platform. 

Easier access to better support

When you call us for support you'll be talking with the same people who are already familiar with your system and your deployment, likely in the same time zone as you.

Driven by you, not shareholders

We're proud to be self-funded, built from the ground up, never acquired. With that comes the freedom to build what our customers want, not what our shareholders think the market wants.

One system, on purpose

Our platform consists purely of products built and designed by our team. No growth-by-acquisition, no "integrating" foreign tech. Just plain old hard work.

Our solutions

One unified platform with all components designed and built by the same team,

carefully crafted to work together for the best possible experience.
