Technology Deployment Strategy

Border management agencies are continually asked to respond to evolving trade and travel dynamics. The right technology deployed in the right environment is essential for efficient, 21st century border management. Responsible investment in the most effective and applicable technologies requires comprehensive understanding of: the operating environment of the procuring agency, best practices employed around the world, and current and emerging border management technologies.

CT Strategies assists border management agencies in identifying, implementing, and managing technologies that maximize security and efficiency while optimizing return on investment.

We pride ourselves on delivering customized solutions tailored to the local operational and budgetary environment that can be cost-effectively scaled as conditions evolve. Our technology deployment consulting engagements include:
​

  • Operational Assessments
  • Concept of Operations Development
  • Technical Requirements Development
  • Acquisition & Contract Support

Assessments

Security and regulatory measures that govern international trade and travel make the border a complex operating environment. The smallest inefficiencies in operations, infrastructure, or mandated laws or regulations add up to cost the government and private sector considerable time and resources.

Our assessments include:

  • Evaluations of operations in all modes of trade and travel

Capacity Building & Program Development

Trade and travel are evolving. Increased competition in a global economy demands increased efficiency for both public and private sector entities across the world. Facilitating trade and travel in a heightened security environment requires innovative capacity building strategies to support economic growth.

While often viewed as standalone solutions, infrastructure and technology investments alone do not minimize cargo and passenger wait times at the border. Authorities need to optimize their resources by investing in programs, processes, and right-sized technology that will increase their capacity to efficiently enable cross border trade and travel.

CT Strategies develops, implements, and maintains programs, processes, and technology acquisitions including:

  • Authorized Economic Operator (AEO)
  • Public-Private Partnership
  • Customs Officer and Intelligence Analyst Training
  • Trade and Travel Processing and Security Software
  • Risk Management

  • Integrated Imaging Systems
  • Scalable Technology Deployments
