Success Story: Transportation Security Administration
Assessing and Streamlining the Performance of Commercial Airport Security Nationwide
In 2005, the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Office of Strategic Management and Analysis, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, implemented the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform™ to analyze transportation security operations at commercial airports nationwide. The solution was implemented by McLean, VA-headquartered BearingPoint, Inc.
TSA executives, Federal Security Directors, and TSA field staff use MicroStrategy’s software to assess and streamline the performance of commercial airport security operations. MicroStrategy anchors TSA’s Performance Management Information System (PMIS), which collects, analyzes, and reports passenger and baggage screening data. Operational performance metrics, such as wait times at selected airports, TSA staff utilization, and screening equipment utilization are collected and reported via the PMIS system.
“We’re proud that our technology is TSA’s software-of-choice for these critical performance reporting applications, and that it is being deployed for work so clearly vital to the nation’s security and the well-being of its citizens,” said MicroStrategy’s COO Sanju Bansal. “Federal and state government agencies are choosing MicroStrategy to gain better visibility into their operations and to help make important decisions on a wide range of matters.”
The Transportation Security Administration protects the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. The TSA was established in 2001 when the President signed into law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (AT SA). This Act established a series of challenging but critically important milestones toward achieving a secure air travel system.
