The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is carrying out a monumental task of bringing all federal and state agencies together in terms of its data and applications, thus creating a cohesive force to fight against internal and external threats. Easier said than done, this mega project is extremely complex, will take years of effort and cost billions of dollars. Are we biting off more than we can chew? How are we ensuring that this laudable yet daunting initiative sees the light of successful completion?
