Global Trade Information Services - Products and Services: Donald Brasher has held the position of President at Global Trade Information Services, Inc. (GTIS), since he cofounded the company in 1993. Since that time, C. Donald Brasher has participated in the rapid growth of GTIS, as the company provided better and better data solutions for a wide array of clients. When C. Donald Brasher started the company, it was meant to promote a better understanding of global economic development. Today, GTIS has grown to serve clients in more than 250 cities and 50 countries around the world. Whereas trade analysts might have previously spent weeks or even months developing a table that represented the trade data of their country or company, GTIS makes the process incomparably more simple. GTIS’s core product is called the World Trade Atlas. Originally developed to make United States’ data more accessible, the product has now evolved into editions for more than for 80 individual countries.
Since their products serve many different functions, GTIS has now developed even more specialized software products. For example, it has developed a Global Trade Atlas, which gives businesses, trade associations, and governments the ability to look at global trade by individual commodity. It has also developed a Waterborne Atlas that is used by port authorities and customs officials to oversee shipping from United States ports. Under C. Donald Brasher’s leadership, GTIS continues to look for new ways to improve and meet the needs of its customers.
