The US-VISIT Program faces IT challenges that extend beyond the customary technical issues found in most IT modernization programs. Central among these is the need to integrate and/or provide interoperability across multiple systems inside and outside of DHS. Many of these systems have separate owners and support mission needs independent of the US-VISIT Program. A second IT challenge is the need to improve information sharing between entities that need US-VISIT data, even while many of these entities operate under policies that restrict information sharing. Third, the Program must adapt to a rapidly changing technical environment. For example, it must optimize the use of a changing biometric marketplace against performance, cost, accuracy, and usability. Finally, the Program must transition from the current legacy systems to the US VISIT solution while supporting stringent performance requirements and minimizing facility modifications.

ICS provides Subject Matter Experts, IT, Administrative and General Management Personnel at all levels of the program.
