OK - A good idea here, buried in a sea of muck. Use closed military bases as detainment areas/deportation hearing centers.

Wake up and Smell the Technology
2007-05-29 12:48:32

With such a lag in system. Man hours and huge delay. You need an independenat company to come in. With the Web being used so highly, SQL server and with technology being what it is. I see no reason why you can't hire a strong team of Web, SQL and program developer to stream line this process. I don't see why it has not been done already. I remember a time in NJ where going to the DMV was a total nightmare. Now you get to do almost everything online and the wait time are short. Despite the high requirement for documentation. Getting a passport was less work then getting a driver license in New Jersey. They seem to have gotton it right. Protecting and prompt services. Here is a suggestion do majority on line. Set up an appointment to view orginal documents. I don't see why this can't be streamed lined. When I went to apply for my job. I was finger printed electronically and cleared within about a week. Sometime it cost money to improve the process and how many man hours would you not save by proper stream lining?? Wont this start to pay for it self in a matter of time? Here is hint offer a third party a bonus by having the project done by a specific date. What the result come in.

Wake up and Smell the techology

Instead of trying to handle this yourself. Hire and train the right people. Get an outside Vendor. Like Price Water House Cooper to do the project management. You need to the people with the techology and ability to handle large project right. If they were doing what need to be done. Current system would not be 8 year back log. System overhaul needed now. With popular program such as SQL and Web interface. I don't see why this is such an ordeal? NJ had a DMV problem - they revamped, outsourced and fixed its problem. Yes its easier to get a passport than to get a NJ drivers License. But I can still do a majority of my business on line and when I have to go there I have a checklist of what orginal documents to bring. Take a lesson from New Jersey!!
