Definition
The SADCOM solution will be developed based on five pillars 1.
Connectivity and data exchange – Provision ot real-time data exchange,
supported by defined SLA and guaranteed turn-around times
2.
Risk management – National risk assessment and mitigation supported by
the exchange of regional enforcement and risk information
3.
Track and Trace – Creating visibility of goods movements and reporting
4.
Bond Management – Managing the regional bond and chain of responsibility.
5.
Legal SADC ICT Strategy – as the enabling mechanism for the elements
above.
Connectivity and data exchange will be realised by implementing the WCO Global
Networked Customs (GNC) Interconnectivity Block and will form the basis of
Customs-to-Customs (C2C) connectivity. It will create a basis from where future
integration solutions can be designed.
Risk management will utilise the WCO CEN network for the exchange of
enforcement data.
Common infrastructure and services will provide the minimum technical “glue” to
interconnect the solutions in each of the Member States. Integration components
will connect the current and legacy national solutions to the common infrastructure,
which will be developed in co-operation with vendors and Member States.
