The challenge:

Suppliers often lack the essential resources needed to navigate the global security standards being implemented. Programs such as C-TPAT and the AEO are not well understood. While their customers require compliance, suppliers lack critical information and knowledge of the specific requirements. The inability to comply has become a competitive disadvantage.
