Deploy Industry-Leading Identity Resolution Technology in Immigration, Customs, and Homeland Security
Border Control
Granting access to individuals through a country's border is a delicate balance between processing regular travelers quickly while being able to positively identify and detain individuals suspected of being on watch lists. This process needs to occur regardless of large spikes in border traffic, diverse multicultural backgrounds of travelers, and inconsistency and incompleteness of watch list data. With the Informatica solution for identity resolution in immigration, customs, and homeland security, watch lists can be exhaustively scanned in real time, using multiple search algorithms to maximize discovery and hybrid matching routines to rank results and minimize false hits.
Visa Applications
Visa applications are often the first line of defense in preventing unwanted visitors to a country. A visa application must be screened against alert lists of individuals. However, such alert lists often contain entries in differing risk categories (for example, students over-staying their visa are a lower risk than wanted terrorists). Only the Informatica solution for identity resolution in immigration, customs, and homeland security includes risk-sensitive indexing and searching that allow different strategies to be applied to different risk categories. It also includes support for names from more than 60 countries and languages.
Intelligence Agencies
For homeland security agencies, the volume of identities-of-interest, including that of terrorists, is growing by the day. This data is sourced from multiple countries and from different types of agencies. It is often incomplete, unreliable, and foreign in nature. The Informatica solution for identity resolution in immigration, customs, and homeland security is the most robust identity indexing and searching software on the market, with a unique ability to handle data of virtually any quality, format, or country of origin.
Passenger Screening
The Informatica solution for identity resolution in immigration, customs, and homeland security is used within transportation authorities to help ensure safe public travel. The ability to overcome complex and errant identity data, combined with subsecond response time, is a requirement of reservation and ticketing systems. Sophisticated name-matching algorithms compare passenger information against lists of individuals known to pose, or suspected of posing, a threat to civil aviation, providing a critical component to counter-terrorism measures.
