Global Semiconductor Manufacturer Automates Restricted Party
Screening Worldwide
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Amber Road, a leading provider of global trade management solutions,
announced today that Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), one of the
world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive
electronic components, reduced corporate risk and improved compliance
with trade regulations using Amber Road’s Restricted
Party Screening (RPS) On-Demand solution.
Integrated into three separate instances of SAP, the RPS On-Demand
solution enables Vishay to screen tens of thousands of its customers and
vendors across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, against
over 200 restricted party lists from government institutions worldwide.
As part of its global trade compliance initiative, Vishay needed an
automated compliance screening program that would help ensure they were
not shipping products to an embargoed country or a denied party. The
solution also needed to centralize information on Vishay’s business
partners on a global basis. After a thorough vendor evaluation, the
trade compliance team at Vishay selected Amber Road for its global
coverage, ease of implementation and cost.
“Not only are governments worldwide expanding their regulatory programs,
they are becoming increasingly intolerant of noncompliance,” said John
Preuninger, President & COO of Amber Road. “We applaud Vishay’s
dedication to creating a world-class compliance program by automating
the complex screening process necessary to mitigate compliance risks.”
As an importer/exporter, Vishay must comply with all government
regulations when shipping goods internationally. Thus, any associated
violation of these regulations could result in possible fines,
suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting
for a period of time. The result of any of these acts could negatively
impact Vishay’s reputation and future earnings.
RPS
On-Demand is a hosted, Web-based application enabling companies to
avoid incurring penalties, fines and sanctions by accurately identifying
restricted parties before goods are shipped. By using the highly
configurable, automated solution, companies can quickly screen their
customers, suppliers and other trading partners against over 200
restricted party lists from governmental institutions worldwide.
