Accelerating Global Supply Chains with IT-Innovation

Abstract

The ITAIDE project shows that a complex set of external drivers influences the modernization strategies of Customs agencies. Rapid advances in technology available to Customs agencies push investments to replace antiquated systems with more sophisticated tools and processes, and to introduce radical procedure redesigns supported by advanced technologies in order to help Customs simultaneously balance and optimize the twin goals of trade facilitation and border integrity. Three main technologies have been used as cornerstones in the ITAIDE Living Labs: container security devices, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and information sharing standards and services. In this chapter we provide an overview of these technological cornerstones of the ITAIDE innovations.
