The Export Compliance Screening analyst performs a key role in protecting Autodesk from export and trade compliance violations while balancing the need to expediently provide customers with access to Autodesk Products.

‍

‍

ECS Team analysts work with our Oracle Watchlist Screening (OWS) tool to screen customer and prospective customer transactions and prevent sales of Autodesk high-technology products to sanctioned individuals, outlaw states or nefarious actors.  The ECS Team analyst uses their knowledge of our documented export compliance policies and performs research on customers using various tools.  The ECS Analsyt then carefully documents their findings in our OWS tool to support their export compliance decision.  The ECS Analsyt may either research, confirm and document that a customer is a positive match to a restricted party; or carefully document that a customer is not a match to a restricted party.  This research and documentation is fundamental to our Export Compliance Screening program.
