Many companies struggle to manage
trade compliance requirements by country and by product. Often times this is a
distributed process implemented with personal productivity applications such as
Excel, with little consistency in what information is managed or how it is
collected. Also given the ad-hoc nature of how information is managed, it is
difficult to share and keep up-to-date with ever-changing
trade regulations.
Management Dynamics’ Global Product Master (GPM) On-Demand allows you to
comprehensively manage compliance data across a distributed team of trade
professionals, brokers and trade consultants. A multi-organizational deployment
model and administration with a role-based security framework allows you to
align GPM On-Demand with your business process.
