ECE/TRADE/404 Copyright© United Nations, 2012 All rights reserved worldwide Page iii Foreword For many Governments, the Single Window system has become a core instrument to facilitate trade, simplify procedures and implement electronic business. Today 49 countries around the world have reported the implementation of Single Window Systems of varying complexity. A Single Window automates the information exchanges that control the flow of goods across national borders. The conditions under which this information is exchanged and shared, its accessibility, accuracy, the data formats and the technologies used, are crucial for global trade efficiency. Managing this information skilfully, leveraging its potential, finding new ways to generate, manage, process and use this information is vitally important for Governments, the private sector and citizens. When implementing a Single Window, all Governments face similar challenges. These relate to the technical aspects of the systems, as well as the organizational and inter-organizational, managerial, financial, political, legal, national and international settings. Policymakers and persons in charge of conceptualizing, planning, implementing and overseeing Single Window projects need to manage the many aspects of the project and create an environment in which the project can succeed. This requires advanced managerial competencies in very different domains—such as trade policies, business process analysis, change management, electronic business and information technology management and standards, legal issues and Single Window architectures. The Single Window Planning and Implementation Guide was developed in collaboration with international experts and academics. Experienced Single Window project managers from both developing and highly developed countries contributed their wealth of experience in managing projects. Researchers developed an integrated high-level managerial framework based on international best practice and the latest management techniques. The Guide addresses the needs of managers and policymakers who are entrusted with planning and overseeing Single Window systems in our member countries. It provides managerial strategies; all guidance on practical issues as well as in the specialised knowledge areas required to plan and oversee such a complex undertaking. Single Window Planning and Implementation Guide Page iv We hope that this Guide will contribute to swift project implementation, better services to Government agencies and private-sector enterprises that are the stakeholders in Single Windows and, ultimately, enhance the regional and global integration of the economies in our regions. This Guide complements a set of UNNExT tools to support Single Window and trade facilitation implementation: the Business Process Analysis Guide to Simplify Trade Procedures; the Data Harmonization and Modelling Guide for Single Window Environments; the Guide for Alignment of Trade Forms and the Capacity-Building Guide on Electronic Single Window Legal Issues. It is recommended to use this Guide together with these other tools in order to derive the maximum benefit.

The objective of the Guide is to assist the decision makers, Government officials and private stakeholders to address managerial issues that may affect the planning, the development and operation of Single Window systems, including their cross-border interoperability. The Guide also serves as background reading for capacity-building workshops, especially those supported by United Nations regional commissions and other international funding agencies. Such workshops aim at building the managerial competence of Government officials and relevant stakeholders to plan, manage and oversee the Single Window projects within their economies or within a region of collaborative economies. Therefore, the target audiences of this Guide are policy managers, Government officials and other stakeholders especially those who are tasked to lead, coordinate and/or involve in initiating, planning and managing Single Window projects. Improving trade and transport-related procedures and documentation with some forms of electronic- based Single Window environments is well recognized as one of the most important development visions for increasing trade competitiveness of many economies. However, how to transform these visions into reality is neither simple nor obvious. Therefore, a holistic and systematic framework for guiding the planning and implementation of the SW vision into reality is proposed. An architecture-based approach, called Single Window Implementation Framework (SWIF), as recommended in the Guide, provides policy managers and decision makers with guidelines on how to systematically structure many complicated challenges of Single Window implementation into less complicated and more manageable sub-components. The Guide also suggests a stepwise project management process and practical steps on how to initiate a project, how to analyse the current environment, how to propose the target architectures from different viewpoints, and then how to formulate the high-level master plan for implementation. The Guide also discusses key ideas on some approaches to secure political will with its clear vision and how to formulate an effective collaborative platform. We discuss the importance of other critical success issues including the necessity of business process analysis, data harmonization, development of electronic messages, and commonly agreed functions of its application architecture. A case study at the end of this guide summarizes the implementation experiences and history of a national Single Window project using the described implementation framework.
