Abstract
An integrated border management solution providing a balance between facilitating the movement of people and commerce with the requirements of immigration, customs, and other border-focused law enforcement. The facilitation aspect of the solution includes processing of arrivals and departures, as well as processing requests triggered by forms and applications such as requests for visas, asylum or customs declarations. The enforcement aspect of the solution includes border enforcement alerts and communication, as well as a comprehensive, integrated investigation and intelligence workbench. The border management solution is based upon a border management business architecture defining the structure for developing a border management solution in terms of its capabilities and the interrelationships of those capabilities. The border management solution according to the present invention may be implemented as an integrated whole or as component parts to a border management solution.
