CTDI Reduces Corporate Risk with Management Dynamics’ RPS On-Demand Solution
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, November 5, 2009 – Management Dynamics, a leading provider of Global Trade Management (GTM) solutions, today announced that Communications Test Design, Inc (CTDI), a full service global engineering, repair and logistics company, implemented its RPS On-Demand solution, an advanced risk management solution that screens individuals and businesses to identify prohibited transactions based upon over 90 restricted party lists. Since automating restricted party screening, CTDI has significantly reduced corporate risk and improved compliance with global trade and security regulations while minimizing time and resources required for screening.
Providing repair and logistics services for major Telecom and Cable service providers and OEMs, CTDI also provides the service of screening shipments for many of its customers. CTDI needed to streamline its screening process across multiple order management systems and 25 locations. The company selected Management Dynamics’ RPS On-Demand solution for its functionality, ease of use, and ability to centralize its compliance with multi-org and team-based workflow to enable its global branches to easily manage their own customer shipments.
“We needed to prevent any illegal transactions with restricted entities or trade parties and avoid potential fines and penalties for CTDI and its telecom customers. We had previously relied on a fragmented, incomplete process,” said Greg Pugh, Global Compliance Manager, CTDI. “Management Dynamics provided the best value and came highly recommended by many authorities in the trade industry. It was also very important that the screening did not create a cumbersome distraction during high volume shipping processes. Since using the RPS On-Demand solution, we have significantly reduced our corporate risk, liability and exposure to prohibited transactions.”
Available on a flexible, on-demand architecture, Management Dynamics’ RPS On-Demand solution addressed CTDI’s needs with a secure, comprehensive method to automate screening of its customers, vendors, and other trading partners against all restricted party lists from governmental institutions worldwide. With improved screening algorithms based on computational linguistics, RPS On-Demand delivers at least a 30 percent improvement in screening accuracy with a 70 percent reduction in false positives over traditional methods. The Web-based solution integrates with any enterprise system and can be quickly and cost-effectively implemented.
“Today, exporters are held to a higher level of accountability to meet government mandates than ever before,” said Jim Preuninger, CEO of Management Dynamics. “CTDI uses our RPS On-Demand solution to centralize and streamline its compliance process to improve productivity and effectively manage supply chain risk.”
