The article focuses the book "Computers and International Trade and Documents," published by SITPRO. This new publication provides advice and solutions to enable firms in the export business, ranging from small exporters to large shipping companies to increase their efficiency and achieve cost savings by use of readily available technology. Many companies struggle to produce masses of trade documents accurately and on time, often using outdated methods. Many are also searching for improved automated solutions-only to be faced with a confusing array of system solutions, equipment and techniques. The evidence is that company after company is spending money searching for solutions to a common problem. Therefore SITPRO, The Simplification of International Trade Procedures Board, has produced the manual as the output from a project which had extensive participation from exporters, importers, forwarders, carriers and equipment and software suppliers. By taking a structured approach in order to identify the problems which have to be addressed and the options and solutions currently available, the manual greatly simplifies the task of those responsible for the design and implementation of new systems.
