(BRGP), one of the world's largest management and technology consulting firms, in cooperation with SAP Japan Co., Ltd., announced that it has completed the pilot of a secure global trade system, based on the SAP(R) GRC Global Trade Services application, for Japan's Sysmex Corporation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of clinical testing equipment and diagnostic products. The global trade system - implemented at Sysmex's subsidiary in Singapore - is designed to address the trade and security control challenges resulting from the company's rapid globalization and decentralized operations. Now, Sysmex will be able to standardize business processes and systems; streamline management of complex, global trade security measures; and improve control and monitoring of compliance across its operations worldwide. Sysmex can also more accurately monitor legal compliance at its Singaporean subsidiary and swiftly implement any necessary measures for risk aversion. Further, SAP GRC Global Trade Services helps build clarity and transparency into business processes between the head office and overseas subsidiaries, effectively streamlining security trade control work on a global scale and enhancing overall risk management. BearingPoint was hired as the consulting partner for the project based on its familiarity with the life sciences industry and security trade-control systems, global presence and experience deploying systems based on SAP GRC Global Trade Services.
