If it works, it's great. There are a lot of companies doing similar things that duplicate lots of effort building similar applications. However, in my experience, internal software development is often tailored very tightly to specific environments and other tools that are used in this particular situation, and the pressure from higher-ups is to build something faster rather than generic (and even if it's built to be generic, that usually doesn't work well unless there are real use cases exercising it). What I'd really like to see is several municipalities joining their forces and writing common open source software that works for their use cases. Would be soooo much cheaper in the long run than each procuring on their own.
