Unfortunately while Unfortunately while networking infrastructures networking infrastructures have evolved into universal have evolved into universal and affordable and affordable connectivity, many connectivity, many applications riding this applications riding this infrastructure are still infrastructure are still bound into stovepipe bound into stovepipe systems systems

• Years of buying “best of breed” applications have left business with numerous different systems, most if not all of which do not easily communicate.

• The lack of integrated applications and information leads to inefficient business processes like re-keying or file transfers between systems. This results in the slow-down in information processing as the flow of information moves piecemeal from one place to another.

• Every intervention (manual or system) becomes an opportunity for information loss through translation of formats or inconsistency of interpretation.

Differences between TWIC and FUPAC Programs

1.) TSA TWIC Program does not mandate the Access Control System. Only Florida state statues require it at this time.

2.) TSA considers the Florida FUPAC/TWIC Implementation a prototype

3.) TWIC validates against terrorism watch lists while Florida also requires criminal background check with no felonies
