The Immigration Management and Control System (IMCS)

The Immigration Management and Control System is a fast secure data entry and database administration and enquiry system. The Control Module is designed to record and track the movement of Flights, Vessels and Passengers. The System manages all information relating to persons in the database, from those refused entry to those issued ‘Forms’ such as passports, visas, work permits etc. The integrated modules include a Data Warehouse to provide both single source data across the modules, for Reporting and Analysis and the facility to seamlessly integrate disparate systems and applications. The Control and Forms modules integrate with standard reporting packages, passport readers and printing systems.

The structure of the Immigration Management and Control System software is built around the IBM i-Series operating system architecture, giving unparalleled levels of security.

The integrated solution is composed of the following Functional Blocks:

• Control Module
• Forms Modules
• Data Warehouse
• Reporting System
• Passport Reader System
• Passport Printing System
