“Success in the 21st century requires sophisticated information chains,” said Matt Gersper, president and founder Global Data Mining.  “Cross border or international transactions now require up-to-date information accurately describing the transaction from a customs perspective, delivered to the right systems around the world, at the right time.  A data failure today causes supply chain interruptions and stalls the movement of goods just as physical supply chain failures have in the past, and the cost-of-disruptions are significant.”

“The information we cover is in the public domain – we take it, consolidate it, and make it user friendly,” said Ken Harris, managing partner of MK Data Services.  “Lackluster information management on federal agency web sites, when referenced by exporters and forwarders, causes an influx of inquiries from clients.  The management of incoming export control regulatory changes remains an ongoing challenge.”
