The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has upgraded Kazakhstan’s customs infrastructure by providing advanced computer servers to Kazakhstan’s State Revenue Committee (SRC).
SRC Chairman Zhandos Duisembiyev accepted the state-of-the-art servers at a ceremony on August 14, which was attended by U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan Daniel Rosenblum.
The new servers will replace outdated equipment that has hampered performance.
Ambassador Rosenblum commented that adopting innovative technologies will streamline processes, enhance accuracy, improve transparency, and foster a business-friendly environment, attracting more investors and boosting economic growth.
USAID is supplying advanced servers made by Dell Inc. to support the SRC’s new customs Keden IT system, which replaces the outdated Astana-1 system. By leveraging automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the new Keden system will reduce clearance times and enhance data security.
Rosenblum also emphasized the shared vision between the United States and Kazakhstan for a transparent and secure trade environment as Kazakhstan secures its position as a leading regional trade hub.
