3. Our Automated Solutions Help Streamline Every Aspect
of International Trade
The modules are offered in three product configurations or as a standalone (see following pages),
depending on the needs of your organization.
Online Regulations & Publications: Provides access
to all U.S. regulations on export and import.
Anti-Money Laundering: Facilitates the critical task
of suspicious activity monitoring using a risk-based
approach. Applies advanced analytics and scenarios
against an institution’s transactional data to identify
suspicious behavior. Financial institutions find it
necessary to strengthen their anti-Money laundering
(AML) platforms to stem the tide of illicit financial
transactions and meet new regulatory mandates.
E-Tendering: Expedite the complete tendering process,
from the advertising of the requirement to the
placement of the contract, including the exchange of
all relevant documents in electronic format.
Watch List (Denied Party) Screening: Screens all parties
against U.S. and International watch lists for debarred
parties. You may easily screen individual names, upload a
list of names, or screen all partners in your database.
License/Permit Screening: Quickly and accurately
identifies appropriate export controls based on the type
of goods, international regulations, or the laws of specific
importing nations.
License/Permit Applications: Gives users the ability to
electronically submit and prepare export, import, and
re-export licenses, as well as commodity classification
applications. System encompasses permit application for
international markets.
License Management: Manages and stores export and
import licenses, and agreements approved by various
departments, ministries and agencies. The module
expedites generation of summary licensing reports for
management.
Export Documentation: Easily creates and electronically
manages all of the key documents involved in exporting.
Includes Commercial Invoices, Certificates of Origin, and
Shipper’s Export Declarations. Our Export Module directly
submits global automated customs systems and generates
country specific export documents.
Import Management: Provides a single view of data to
various import process stakeholders, including Importers,
Suppliers, Brokers, and Freight Forwarders. Electronically
generates country specific import documentation.
Compliance Request: Allows electronic submittal of
requests for internal approval of an export or an import for
review by compliance managers. Request data seamlessly
integrating into License Applications within the Licensing
modules if required.
Visitor and ID Management: Manages on and offsite visitor
requests for access to secure locations and maintains
tracking log. Produces customized visitor badges on-
demand, as well as tracks and monitors visitor activity.
Data and Services Management: Enables users to
electronically request internal approval of an export for
technical data and services for review and determination
by compliance managers. Features streamlined tools for
authorizing and logging the exports.
Commodity Classification: Allows users to determine
product classification based on National Export Controls,
Global Export Controls, Customs Classifications, and HTS
codes. Products are then stored in a master file that is
viewable by all parties.
Compliance & Incident Tracking: Tracks the process of
reporting compliance related incident reports, based on
employee reports or audit findings. Allows you to voluntarily
disclose compliance related incidents to government, and
manage the disclosure.
eLearning Portal: Easily manages employee education
and training. Contains tools for scheduling and tracking
compliance-based classes, certification and training
programs. Allows instructors to create classes, courses
and quizzes, and maintain records for audit purposes.

6. GlobalEASE:ComplianceSolutionsfor
WorldwideExporters&Importers
For Companies in International Trade,
Our Robust Software Suite Helps Ensure
Regulatory Compliance and Optimization of
Operations
Around the world, competition among companies to source and sell
globally is intensifying. The opportunities may be vast, but trying to
expand into new markets is a complex and high-stakes challenge. It’s
an increasingly confusing and risky business environment that forces
importers and exporters to deal with multiple trade programs, dynamic
political landscapes, and a thicket of overlapping laws.
Recent cases illustrate the disastrous financial consequences and
damage to corporate reputations that can result from non-compliance.
Moreover, senior managers are now liable should their organizations’
global trade compliance programs fail. Despite these risks, however,
some companies continue to use outdated, manual processes to
maintain compliance.

8. Customized e-Government Software that
Streamlines and Expedites Export and
Import Processes
For governments seeking to improve their ability to fulfill their mandate, one of
the most promising solutions is the development of e-government resources
— also known as single window or one-stop shop solutions. Single window
solutions, Business to Government (B2G) and Government to Government
(G2G), simplify and streamline government transactions with external parties
and also among agencies or departments within a government.
Single window solutions are beneficial to companies seeking to conduct
international trade. Normally, such companies must manually submit identical
(or nearly identical) information and paperwork to multiple government
agencies. This process can require a needless duplication of effort on the
company’s part, and can also increase the chances of errors, conflicting
information and other issues that can delay the approval process.
