GlobalTrade Corporation to Provide Alstom With Solution to Centralize Management of Bank and Parental Guarantees, Sureties and Standbys.
14.9.2022 17:57:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
GlobalTrade Corporation (GTC) has announced today that Alstom, the leading global innovative player for a sustainable and smart mobility, selected @GlobalTradeTM Platform to replace its internal system and improve efficiency and controls of its trade finance operations. Alstom will use the Platform to reduce operating costs by improving reporting and management oversight capabilities.
For many years Alstom had been managing guarantees using its own internal system. Even though it is a very robust and comprehensive tool, Alstom decided to look for an agile solution offering more flexibility, functionality and support of the best market practices. Alstom also wanted to work with an experienced technology partner that can help streamline and digitalize their business and bank communication processes including integration with existing systems’ APIs.
Christine Dross, Bonds & Guarantees Director, Alstom said, “With the @GlobalTradeTM Platform, Alstom will optimize the transaction cycle and turnaround time, and achieve effortless multi-channel SWIFT-compliant connectivity, with its global network of financial institutions. The Platform will be a one-stop solution for recording, tracking, and viewing guarantee instruments and their life-cycle changes. It will simplify the communication and significantly minimize the risk of data inconsistencies with financial institutions. Proven data migration approach for historical transactions and tight integration with other Alstom systems are other factors that were critical in our decision to implement GTC’s solution.”
Stephen Andersen, COO, GTC said, ‘We are proud to provide Alstom with our @GlobalTrade™ Guarantee Issuance solution. The integration capabilities of our solution with downstream and upstream applications and ERP systems of Alstom will greatly enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and will meet its business objectives.’

Focused Support Launches Cavok STRIKE to Expand Link-16 Participation Across the Joint Force14.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Press release
Focused Support LLC today announced the launch of Cavok STRIKE, an integrated software capability that expands the Link-16 tactical battlespace picture by enabling additional operational platforms to participate in the Link-16 network. Modern battlefields have increasing numbers of unmanned systems, sensors, and supporting platforms operating throughout the joint battlespace. The rapid proliferation of Group 1, 2, and 3 UAS, including both expendable and recoverable systems, has created a growing need to integrate these assets into the broader tactical network. Many of these platforms provide operationally relevant information but have historically remained outside the Link-16 network due to limitations in size, weight, power, platform integration complexity, or acquisition cost. Cavok STRIKE addresses this gap by enabling platforms to participate in the Link-16 network as non-command-and-control participants. This allows those platforms to interoperate with traditional Link-16 platfor
