As I mentioned I recall it was discussed during a webinar at that time and the IR guy also filled me in. If I recall from 2 years ago what I was told the company did not release the name as a matter of a gentlemen's agreement more than contract. For one thing these systems can be very political and DHS said they did want the hassle of the Honeywell's, Tyco's etc. nattering at them to change their mind since they were looking at going a very different way - Freedom. The other thing was that Freedom is a pure software system that requires the agreement/cooperation of the IT departments and they have different regulations that had to be addressed so they didn't want the IT people to feel pressured. My guess is that they finally have the full support of the DHS IT department and that is why they released the agency. If this is the case the announcement is more important than noted since it overcomes the objections Viscount could face at any other agency - if it is secure enough to attach to the DHS (Immigration) network then it should be secure enough for any other agency...
