It is now possible for the integrity of a country’s borders to be breached in advance of people or cargo reaching a point of entry.

Effective management of a limitless border is a complex challenge with wide ranging implications. We are seeing examples of a collaborative response where border management, immigration and customs work alongside revenue, transportation, intelligence, police and security agencies as a border management ‘enterprise’. Yet, while the border management 'enterprise’ may be focused on achieving a shared goal, it is comprised of a collection of autonomous organizations with distinct objectives, structures and processes.

Accenture’s strategic border management approach helps these agencies work efficiently as an integrated, high-performance border management enterprise. We help these diverse organizations:

• Maintain the integrity of the nation’s physical and virtual borders.
• Support security and safety of citizens and visitors.
• Corroborate the free flow of international trade.

Working with Accenture is different: we understand the importance of listening to real border management experts, the people and organizations whose insights, opinions and ideas on border management are shaped by real world experience. Listening—and learning—is a vital element in the development of a strategic approach to border management that looks beyond technology and will evolve with the industry.

Accenture’s strategic border management approach helps agencies to cooperate effectively as an intelligence-led, high performance border management enterprise to achieve their common goals—maintaining the integrity of the national border; enhancing the security and safety of citizens and visitors; supporting the free flow of international trade; and promoting economic growth.

The Accenture approach nurtures a knowledge-sharing culture among common yet separate organizations by supporting proactive, informed decision making based on a complete view of risks and opportunities.
