I analyzed the tech stack patterns and immediately recognized that Granicus SmartGov users are overwhelmingly government agencies, specifically city and county governments managing public services. The combination of evidence management systems, FOIA request tools, and public sector ERP solutions makes this crystal clear. These aren't typical B2B companies but rather municipal organizations handling complex regulatory, safety, and transparency requirements.

The pairing with Axon Evidence is particularly telling. This body camera and evidence management platform appears in 36 of these organizations, suggesting they're police departments or municipalities with significant law enforcement operations. When I see this combined with Motorola Video Manager and Flock Safety (license plate recognition), it points to agencies deeply invested in public safety technology infrastructure. JustFOIA and Granicus GovQA appearing so frequently reinforces the transparency angle since these tools specifically handle Freedom of Information Act requests and citizen inquiries. These organizations are legally required to maintain public records and respond to information requests, so they need specialized software to manage that workflow.

The presence of Tyler Munis ERP tells me these are established government entities with formal financial and HR management needs. They're not startups or even growing companies in the traditional sense. They operate on budget cycles, have procurement processes, and maintain legacy systems. Their "growth" means expanding services to constituents, not acquiring customers in a commercial sense.

I noticed that Granicus SmartGov serves municipal and county governments almost exclusively. These aren't companies that build or sell products in the traditional sense. They're public sector entities that deliver essential services to residents: police and fire protection, parks and recreation, water and wastewater utilities, building permits and inspections, street maintenance, and community development. They manage everything from trash collection to maintaining trails and operating public facilities like pools, marinas, and golf courses.

These are definitively mature, established organizations. The populations they serve range from small towns of 3,000 to large counties of 600,000, but most cluster in the 15,000 to 50,000 range. They operate under formal governmental structures with city councils, managers, and multiple departments. Many reference incorporation dates from the 1900s or earlier, and they employ anywhere from a dozen to several thousand people. Several explicitly mention receiving awards for fiscal management or environmental stewardship, indicating long operational histories.
