​NZ Customs turn to Red Hat for eGate system upgrade

New Zealand accepts around 25,000 international travellers through its borders each year, and with visitor arrivals forecasted to increase by 4.8 percent each year over the next five years, the country's Customs Service upgraded its technology to keep pace. New Zealand Customs Service (NZ Customs) embarked on an eGate upgrade project, turning to Red Hat for a new automated way to get through passport control. NZ Customs developed a solution architecture based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP), Red Hat Fuse, and Red Hat AMQ. "Customs has been on a bit of a journey in the technology space, reinventing ourselves to address the challenges that a significant and on-going increase in passenger and trade poses to us," NZ Customs chief architect Mat Black told Red Hat Forum 2018 in Sydney on Wednesday.
