Dean Computer Corp

Introduction 

Dean Computer Corp (DCC) began roughly twenty years ago as a sole proprietor consulting company, setting up computer hardware, software, and networks for small businesses.  Over the years, DCC has offered various professional services.  Incorporated in 2004, we currently specialize in locating and employing qualified and talented individuals who can provide their skills in support of U.S. government contract projects developed to improve our national infrastructure as well as strengthen and maintain our homeland security.  While DCC has the ability to service government contracts of any size and duration, our current focus is the ACE program for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)

The Automated Commercial Environment project, known as ACE, is a large-scale, long-term effort to modernize the Information Technology infrastructure for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a division of the Department of Homeland Security.  Currently in year six of its estimated 15-year length, ACE will ultimately establish a web-based data system linking all U.S. Customs ports, all Customs brokers, and all related federal agencies.  Via this system, important duty and tariff information can be quickly entered and immediately available for any U.S. import transaction.  Vital security data regarding restricted items or suspicious cargo can also be compiled and tracked in the ACE environment.  The ACE project includes approximately 800 civilian employees and an equal number of federal workers.  The project incorporates a host of legacy IT systems in addition to expanding the new data system for all entities and functions.
