Digital Certificates of Origin - Aladi

Montevideo, September 21, 2016.

The Digital Certificate of Origin (DCO) within the scope of ALADI consists of a set of specifications, standards, and technical procedures, which form the basis of an IT infrastructure composed of applications and electronic documents, enabling the recognition of DCOs within ALADI.

The Certificate of Origin is a document containing a sworn declaration by the exporter affirming that certain goods are originating for the purposes of a particular trade agreement, by complying with the rules of origin provisions of that agreement.

Recently, a new version of the system was launched, which included the reengineering of the original system and was developed by Sofis Solutions.

The objective of this project was to continue the process started with the development and implementation of a Digital Certificate of Origin System (DCOS) to strengthen, improve, and technologically optimize the system’s functionalities for the digital certificate of origin operations of member countries, providing a service of technical excellence with the required level of quality, security, and availability.

The project scope included the analysis and redesign of the DCOS, preparation of related documentation, user training, technical assistance, and evolutionary maintenance of the system.
