Immigration Agency Case Study - The Power of Shared Intelligence

The Challenge: This immigration agency needed a clearer view of international applicants’ true identity in order to protect the country’s borders. Applications for this government agency are often completed online, in overseas locations where true identification cannot be validated without physical and arduous verification methods which cost the government a large sum of money.

Solution - The agency is now leveraging global shared intelligence to:

Identify fraudulent or anomalous activity from applicants who were using online tools to hide their true identity or location
Reduce fraudulent applications by 30- 40%, before they were processed
Support a fully automated approval process that reduced the requirement for physical interviews and reduced associated costs to the government agency.

SME Supplier Locator update...

UK Government and public sector spend with SME’s is continually on the increase and by 2020, it is the stated intent of Cabinet Office that £1 of every £3 spent on government contracts goes to SME’s.

Against this ambitious backdrop, the WiredGov Supplier Locator service has been developed specifically to embrace the SME Agenda and provide the ideal platform for SME’s to promote their services, solutions, accreditation and success stories directly to our ever increasing audience across all government and public sector verticals and Tier 1 suppliers.

Recent arrivals to the SME Supplier Locator service include:
