We write software used in every American Embassy throughout the world to manage issues affecting U.S. citizens abroad such as lost travel papers, citizenship claims, and child custody concerns.

Experts in our well-equipped technology lab test, evaluate, and analyze emerging technologies that could satisfy current and anticipated State Department requirements. For example:

• Electronic fingerprinting that can lookup and receive a response within a few minutes from anywhere on the globe.
• Biometric systems that can quickly identify individuals by comparing measurements of facial features.
• A variety of related hardware and software such as cameras, printers, workstations, LAN/WAN servers, antivirus solutions, and so forth.
