Success Stories

Case Study: Biometrics

• Customer: Department of Defense
• Challenge:  The Department of Defense sought expert guidance from industry to identify the acquisition strategy and enterprise architecture to enable identity superiority for U.S. forces from today through 2025.  Biometrics has significant potential to provide an effective asymmetric capability for the U.S. to satisfy that need.  The Defense Department required a roadmap that would take today’s biometric capabilities and, through enhancements, provide that necessary identity superiority that differentiates our forces and our allied nations from other state and non-state actors.
• Solution:  EMSolutions has worked to define the current “As-Is” picture and the “To-Be” vision for a biometrically enabled environment for the Warfighter.  Through this capability, the U.S. can ensure that it has identity superiority over all operations ranging from identity access to forensics in the global battlespace.  This is achieved by employing enterprise architecture and business process modeling standards with domain experience in both identity management and the DoD enterprise.
• Benefit:  By addressing the gaps in today’s “As-Is” environment, EMSolutions has worked to include a comprehensive science and technology plan that focuses on a top-down programmatic capability that biometrically enables business processes and enterprise architecture with a focus on integration, standards, interoperability, and sustainment at the strategic, operational, and tactical layers.  In this fashion, biometric data sharing, collaboration, and development can enable seamless collection, transmission, storage, matching, and analysis of all biometric modalities across the enterprise.
