The UNCTAD Programme has worked on Internet related technologies and reliable state-of-the-art IT tools to design the AsycudaWorld system. A comparative study of available technologies (development platforms, libraries, software components) was performed. The selection of new technologies was done in respect of the fundamentals of the Programme strategy and following the paramount principle that the selected tools have to allow the development of ASYCUDAWorld extensions, taking full advantage of the new available technologies and the Internet environment.

• Internet based ;
• Independent of RDBMS;
• Independent of hardware platform(s);
• Independent of operating system(s);
• Resilience to telecom breakdown;
• Scalability;
• Built-in security features;
• Product entry cost (programmers training);Availability of specific features: multilingual, document ownership management, audit facilities etc.

The Programme has selected an integrated set of components, which is the basis of the new generation of ASYCUDA products.

In addition, the Programme believes that the next technology that will radically change the business [and Customs] world is the emergence of wireless devices. The AsycudaWorld platform includes therefore the support of these new “Internet appliances”. In that respect, the Programme is currently working on the definition of functionalities to be made available through such advanced technology.
