The challenge
The ministry’s border intelligence directorate drew on nine agencies’ systems, each with its own identifiers and its own rules for sharing. Analysts working on smuggling and trafficking networks could not see a whole journey.
What the ministry did
Tellwright deployed Concord in the ministry’s accredited environment and connected travel, immigration, customs and police systems from nine agencies, under data-sharing rules set by each. Kinship resolved 212 million records to the people, documents, vehicles and organizations they described.
Results
Analysts now see each traveler’s history across agencies in one place, and the networks that connect them. The directorate reports that the time taken to prepare a network assessment has fallen from weeks to days. Further details are available in a cleared briefing.
For the first time our analysts can see the whole journey, not nine pieces of it.
