Bangkok, 10 September 2015

OECD (2015)Trade Policy Papers 181

Study

• Explore ICT requirements and gaps to implement

Trade and Transport Facilitation systems

• ICT requirements are

– IT system architecture, – legal and policy framework, – human resources and knowledge resources,

• rganisational framework and development.
• Target group: ICT policymaker namely in LDCs and

LLDCs

Questions to be answered

• 1. Where is the IT TTF potential?
• 2. What are the challenges for a more effective

deployment of IT for TTF purposes?

• 3. What needs to happen to use IT effectively?
• 4. What are particular developing countries

challenges?

1: Potential

• Business areas

– Risk Management – Transit facilitation – Guarantee management (for transit) – Licenses, certificates and quota management – Coordinated Border Management – Transparency / Administrative Facilitation – Cross-border exchange of information – Customs processing – Decision making support

2: Challenges?

• Brainstorming
• Think of factors that currently hinder using the

full potential of IT?

• Write every idea on a card

2: Challenges?

3: What needs to happen?

• ICT Architecture: Modernisation and

Integration

• ICT Strategy and organisation

ICT Traditional Silos, PC-centric and client – server architecture

• Melt the silos - “boil the ocean” approach
• Standardize on a common technology and infrastructure platform, rather than

rely on a stitched together collection of legacy silos

• Innovate key processes to improve the value or drive down cost
• Propagate these changes across the enterprise, via the common technology

platform, to convert localized improvements into strategic advantage

• The virtualization concept results in hardware topology independence
• Share the ICT resource pools
• Comply with regulatory requirements as centralized data, applications and services
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) pattern in software design in which application

components provide services to other components via a communications protocol (layer)

• ICT modular deployment infrastructure in combination with virtualization

• The Business Architecture, driven by business strategy, organizational and business

processes;

• The Applications / Service Architecture, which outlines the applications /services to

be integrated and deployed, their boundaries and dependences with the business processes;

• The Data Architecture, defining the logical and data layer;
• The Infrastructure Architecture, that consists of hardware infrastructure projected

to support the business, application and data architectures.

The TTF Enterprise Portal is the single access point that serves as the entry point

• f transactions and communication layer for the trades

Complex event-driven processing system

Law Enforcement IT System

Integrated Risk Management System Architecture

Enterprise Content Management Challenges

30% of user’s time is spent searching for information 85% of information is unstructured,

• utside a database

IT Department searches to reduce costs, drive strategic standards, and do more with less 30%-40% of users' can’t find information they need More than 60 % of business is conducted

• n unstructured information

Effective disk utilization is <50%, with 20-40% wasted space Enterprises have to think in terms of the TB’s

ICT Organisation

• Organisational model that breaks silo functions

without centralising in a single new organisation

• ICT strategy that links business to IT needs and

provides a coherent framework for planning and budgeting

• Continuous investment into training and capacity

building of staff

• Total cost ownershipconsiderations and

standardized pricing model

Legal framework

• Appropriate protection of data and privacy

protection in an electronic environment

• Legal framework that enables exchange of

data

• Equivalence of paper and electronic

documents

• Recognition of e-signature across borders
