I suggest a separate app for two reasons.
1. Better security for your main app so that you don not accidentally expose say a new table to your EOTI users because you add the table and forget to hide it.
2. It is sort of weird for the internal staff that when they go to the app not signed in they will not be asked to sign in, as the app is already open to everyone of the internet. So if you do keep it in the same app, then you need to land users on a dashboard that has an inviting sign on button for employees.
It is a personal preference sort of thing that i am 60/40 on or 70/30 on. not like 100% dead set against having it all in the same app. You can do it all in one app if you like.
I mainly just feel more comfortable with security and the user experience in a separate app. Keep in mind for example if your EOTI users or your on signed in employees click on the home button or land on the main dashboard they will see the same dashboard.
