Amber Road Develops Export Compliance Solutions Targeted To Universities & Research Institutions
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, May 8, 2018 – Amber Road (NYSE: AMBR), a leading provider of global trade management (GTM) solutions, announced today the release of a focused solution of its industry-proven export compliance software for universities and research groups.
Amber Road’s Export On-Demand University & Research Edition is specifically designed to help colleges or universities with a scientific research program, foreign visiting researchers, foreign students, international research collaborations and overseas campuses manage their export and deemed export compliance programs, license requirements and product classification. The cloud-based solution helps organizations improve operational efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, and reduce export risks that colleges and universities with scientific research programs face.
“The move to Amber Road has been a positive change for our institution, mainly because of the reduction in false positive hits while conducting restricted party screening,” said Tanta Myles, Director & Research Compliance Officer at The University of Alabama. “The new university edition is a game-changer for higher education export compliance programs given that the solution is custom built for our needs.”
Export On-Demand University & Research Edition is supported by the company’s Global Knowledge® content, the industry’s most comprehensive database of government regulations and restricted party lists. The on-demand solution ensures that higher education and research institutions receive accurate and timely global trade information to mitigate compliance risks.
“We found two things with Amber Road’s system to be superior to other systems: its restricted party screening (RPS) algorithm, and its ease of integration with other systems,” said Allan DiPalma, Director of Export Control Services with University of Pittsburgh. “The Amber Road RPS function allows for multiple pieces of data to be screened at the same time, eliminating the need to perform multiple screenings for the same circumstance. And, the ability to adjust the sensitivity setting for screening based on one’s risk tolerance and comfort level, is another great feature to substantially reduce false hits.”
“The risks of non-compliance that these organizations face are substantial fines, imprisonment, losing critical funding for projects and brand damage to their programs and institution,” said Jim Preuninger, CEO of Amber Road. “After many years of supporting higher education organizations, Amber Road is now delivering a product that is tailored to the unique needs of these groups. This solution now opens the door for Amber Road with over 2,000 universities.”
