Press Release Body = Buffalo, N.Y. (June 8, 2006) Educational Testing Service (ETS), the world's leading educational measurement and research organization, has begun using eCustoms' export compliance solution to help screen parties' names against the U.S. Government's various restricted parties lists.
ETS' mission is to help advance quality and equity in education by providing fair and valid assessments, research and related services. ETS' products and services measure knowledge and skills, promote learning and performance, and support education and professional development for all people worldwide.
ETS selected eCustoms' solution to help them comply with U.S. laws prohibiting U.S. companies from doing business with individuals who are on the U.S. Government's "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List". Using the web-based eCustoms solution, names can be screened against all pertinent lists individually or in batches, with processing and results returned in real time.
"We chose eCustoms because their Restricted Party Screening solution is superior to anything we have used or tried in the past," said Renée Zarelli, Assistant General Counsel at ETS' Office of the General Counsel. "Moreover, eCustoms took the time to understand our particular requirements and proposed a solution that fit our needs."
"When we discuss solutions with clients, it is a team effort involving seasoned business development staff, including software engineers, project managers, implementation specialists and support experts," said Jackson Wood, eCustoms Corporate Business Manager. "What is noteworthy is the depth of domain knowledge and expertise our staff has in the field of international trade compliance and how we can leverage that to deliver great solutions to our customers."
