TTEK’s White Paper on CBM for UAE is Foundational -Provides a Roadmap for Other Countries to Consider

Coordinated Border Management (CBM) is a concept providing the principles and frameworks for multiple agency coordination and cooperation. Constructive discussion on CBM between the right stakeholders can define a roadmap for establishing a structured and effective collaboration among border agencies, which in turn will provide the necessary balance for success. Success is achieved by balancing trade facilitation with enhanced security controls, which will result in economic prosperity for the UAE and it’s regional partners.

The ASYCUDA Myth Part 4:  Time to Open Source

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has never intended to open source ASYCUDA (as the WCO recently did in June 2017 with their Cargo Targeting System).  It seems clear that Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) should not be in the business of building and selling rudimentary software solutions, and donors should not be funding the development or deployment especially when there is an appearance of a kickback scheme for a select few...

The WCO CTS Myth - Part 1: Is the WCO Marketing with the ASYCUDA model?

The WCO CTS Myth - Part 1: Is the WCO Marketing with the ASYCUDA model?

The World Customs Organization (WCO) is blocking the technology providers from those countries who require and seek a robust risk management solution, by suggesting their Cargo Targeting System (CTS) as the only viable solution available.  No market awareness or survey is provided. Sure -the WCO will point members to the TEN network or WCO IT Conference, but it’s clear to us that members are shown all roads lead to the CTS…. especially when they are told it makes them compliant with WCO SAFE....

Customs Risk Management System Checklist - Compare Available Applications with 55 Functions

Customs Risk Management System Checklist - Compare Available Applications with 55 Functions

Through our market analysis and customer engagements, we have learned that many Customs administrations are not entirely clear on what systems are indeed available in the market, or how to compare those applications.  We believe it's necessary to create a common and fair playing ground to compare the options, and TTEK is certainly prepared to be considered in any cross functional comparison.  As such we've prepared a checklist to assist those customs administrations who seek a leading edge operational risk management solution.  Our list includes 55 functions that you should be measuring when considering a risk management solution.

Introducing Machine Learning into Customs Risk Management Capabilities

As part of our development road-map, we are blazing a new path forward by incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies.  What if you could automate your profiling of high risk shipments, people, and conveyances, and bring those "learnings" to your front end decision support system (e.g. our Operational Risk Management System) in real time?   As part of our development road-map, we are going to merge the strategic back end historical trend analysis and predictive analytics with tactical and operational front end targeting and selectivity systems.  Here's how...
