Why does U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) need to upgrade its current computer systems?
There are four primary reasons why CBP needs to enhance its current computer systems. 1. The ability of CBP to effectively meet mission responsibilities is increasingly challenged by both the growth in trade and security threats to our Nation. 2. Government agencies involved in border security need to improve their ability to share and analyze information. 3. Current CBP processing systems are based on technology that is over 20 years old. New information technology capabilities must be adopted to meet changing technology needs. 4. A number of laws enacted in the past decade require Government agencies to become more effective and cost efficient. The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the foundation that will help CBP comply with those laws and regulations and meet the challenges we face today.
