Overview
Program Title
CBP - Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS)
Description
ADIS supports CBP Trade and Travel Operations. ADIS is an electronic system responsible for collecting arrival and departure information about international travel with a nexus to the U.S. In combination with data about immigration, ADIS generates overstay status updates for each visitor and travel history for U.S. citizens. ADIS receives information from multiple systems and matches events to a unique person, creating a comprehensive record of events for that person. ADIS leverages data from DHS systems that aid in the compilation of an individual identification and assists in determining overstays.

Investment Detail
ADIS is an inherited post Full Operational Capability Investment and as such does not have an identified return on investment. However, ADIS produces significant cost avoidance benefits to the Nation that include enhanced border security and enforcement of U.S. immigration laws by serving as the Department's primary provider of overstay status and biographic identity services. Deployed data exchange upgrades and matching process improvements shortened the Overstay Vetting Process, reducing the time ICE takes to act on an overstay from 45 days to 15 or fewer days.
Ongoing enhancements to the overstay population also contributed to further data integrity improvements in the annual Congressional Overstay Report. The efficiency gained is replacing a one-time yearly data call using significant manual resources with a modern real-time reporting environment. Furthermore, improved algorithms for calculating immigration status have been deployed to the reporting environment. The real time data exchange with the Intelligence Community also eliminates a one-month data delay and the need for manual/bulk data updates transferred historically by human courier. Any delay in data touch points pointing to subjects arriving and departing the country creates a gap in information for making national security decisions. By closing these information gaps, efficiencies are gained across the federal government in sharing data more effectively in a real time, leading to reduced analytic costs for the Intelligence Community in searching multiple systems for similar data and reduction in human resources needed to support the existing manual exchanges. A filtered user interface has also been deployed for select stakeholders external to DHS, allowing them access to travel data held by CBP that was previously unavailable to them due to the lack of necessary filters for data with additional protections.
In FY23, CBP will be migrating ADIS to the CBP Amazon Web Services Cloud East (CACE)to achieve better scalability, resiliency (i.e. continuity of operations), and savings.
The following actual Investment performance metrics map to ADIS planned outcomes and benefits:
Outcome measures: Exit records matched to entry records, metric ID no. 44627.
Outcome measures: Existing ADIS identities matched to a Canadian Data Exchange record representing a traveler entering Canada, metric ID no. 44628.
Productivity outcomes: Successfully processed transactions that are returned to the stakeholder, metric ID no. 126215.
Productivity outcomes: Monthly O&M average cost per transaction, metric ID no. 227878.
Output measure: Monthly operational availability rate, metric ID no. 171701.
