Xylem Inc., a leading global water technology company, needed a simple to use, flexible, fully automated screening solution that also managed its export and import data and could be deployed quickly without costly software or hardware. Xylem turned to Amber Road’s Export On-Demand solution to automate all aspects of export compliance for 300 worldwide users across 150 countries.

Amber Road would like to thank all of those who attended the first webinar in our three-part Export Compliance Webinar Series. During this series, we address three key steps involved in building an export compliance program, and show you how Export On-Demand can help you get started. The first webinar focused on Restricted Party Screening (RPS), and the attendees asked some great questions. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and were unable to answer all of them. The presenters, Scott Byrnes and Scott Parker, were kind enough to provide us with written responses to those questions. Here are a few:

Amber Road, a leading provider of global trade management solutions, announced yesterday that Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, reduced corporate risk and improved compliance with trade regulations using Amber Road’s Restricted Party Screening (RPS) On-Demand solution.

Integrated into three separate instances of SAP, the RPS On-Demand solution enables Vishay to screen tens of thousands of its customers and vendors across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, against over 200 restricted party lists from government institutions worldwide.

With 95% of the world’s consumers outside of the United States, and 80% of the world’s economic growth over the next few years expected to occur outside of the United States, the time has never been better to take advantage of new markets.

Small businesses have increasingly found opportunities to expand globally over the past few years and have only more reason to continue to do so in the future. But as a recent article in Inc. Magazine points out, importing and exporting isn’t as simple as booking a spot on the nearest cargo ship.

Don't forget to join Amber Road for the first segment of our deemed export compliance series, taking place tomorrow, October 23, 2012 at 2pm EST. Deemed Export Compliance 101 will cover topics ranging from restricted party screening to export control management... from a university perspective!

Dealing with export compliance in a university setting can be confusing. Most webinars deal with export compliance rather than deemed export compliance – and, as you know, there’s a big difference!

A new white paper released today by Amber Road found that mid-market companies are increasingly at risk for violating U.S. export regulations. This is especially concerning because U.S. export volumes are on the rise. According to a recent U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis report, U.S. exports grew 7.7% from January 2011 to January 2012.
