It would seem that way, but this is municipal government, so there is likely local code (law) that imposes requirements that will boggle your mind and are likely unique to NYC. Take any trivial software task, target municipalities as your customer, and you'd better triple your budgets.

Municipal governments are a large portion of our business, so I'm intimately familiar with the challenges. What's unfortunate is that it's infrequently the fault of the individuals running the municipality. We meet a lot of really great people out in the field. It's just that they're doing their job with one hand tied behind their back. They have to operate within a framework that is (mis)guided by public interest.
