4.3.1.5 CDPS Performance links with IT support capabilities for CRM Cycle Coverage
IT systems and applications can support the different stages and activities of CRM and are
necessary for the use of advanced data analytics.
This study reveals two distinct approaches to using IT support and a close link between the
abilities offered by the IT systems and the depth of implementation. IT CRM support
functionalities can be integrated into the automated declaration processing system, commonly
referred to as CDPS, commonly in form or a RM module or selectivity, or can be provided by a
external transactional tool system used by CA in addition to the CDPS, or a ICRM that can either
be fully integrated in the CDPS or an external system.
Box 6: Benin, Mali, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Ivory Coast CDPS development
Benin, Mali and Burkina Faso use ASY++ while Ivory Coast uses the latest version SYDONIA World -AW under
the name of SYDAMWorld. The ASY++ version is “closed" - does not allow the customs authorities to have access
to source code. The CRM is limited only to the applying of selectivity risk profiles and random targeting. AW is a
“more” open system and enables the CAs to develop new functionalities related to CRM.
Senegal has developed its CDPS, GAINDÉ (Automated Management of Customs Information and Exchanges) and
can, therefore, more easily implement an integrated risk analysis and management system. Cameroon has
integrated the “front office” functionalities into GUCE SW portal; the customs procedures managed in ASY++.
