Yes and no. Some notes: * Experimentation doesn't make it into production twice unless you're doing something wrong. * There are proven solutions off the shelf both open source and commercial. * They should be value driven rather than innovation driven. We aren't paying them to be a research agency. * There is an ongoing maintenance cost and in-house only knowledge when you do an NIH job of something. That is not efficient.
