Airport customs operations require seamless coordination between passenger clearance, cargo processing, security enforcement, and duty collection. However, traditional Enterprise Architecture (EA) approaches often fail to address real-time operational integration, leading to silos, inefficiencies, and revenue losses. The ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model offers a dynamic, real-time approach that eliminates these challenges by engineering an interconnected customs system.
The ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model: A Unified Approach for Airport Customs
Instead of fragmented solutions, the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model ensures:
One Unified Customs System – A structured framework aligning passenger processing, cargo clearance, security, and duty collection into an integrated model for 15 departments.
Beyond Documentation – The model actively drives operational efficiency by linking processes, risk models, and trade intelligence.
Real-Time Linkages – Unlike traditional customs models, this ensures continuous synchronization between security operations, trade compliance, and tax enforcement.
Airport Customs Enterprise Architect as a Leader – Moving beyond passive documentation, the CEA must lead cross-functional integration across all airport customs functions.
