This document discusses the importance of investing in a global trade management (GTM) solution. It states that manual processes are no longer sufficient for managing global trade operations due to increasing regulatory requirements from government agencies. A GTM solution requires three critical components: compliance, content, and connectivity. Compliance focuses on automating customs and regulatory activities. Content includes up-to-date trade information for all countries a company operates in. Connectivity is important for linking with trading partners and customs authorities but is challenging for companies to manage themselves. A GTM SaaS solution can help companies by continuously updating content and facilitating necessary connectivity between parties.
