Abstract:
An automated method, system and program product for automated document export control are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a user, by entering one or more user inputs into a data processing system, builds and submits an electronic document export request specifying a document for which export authorization is requested, an identity of an export control reviewer, and an indication of an export control policy under which export of the document is permitted. In response to submission of the electronic document export request, the data processing system automatically notifies the export control reviewer of the electronic document export request and permits the export control reviewer to electronically access, review and annotate the electronic document export request. Then, in response to the export control reviewer annotating the electronic document export request as approved, the electronic document export request is electronically archived, and approval of the export request is electronically indicated to the user. In this manner, paper copies and physical handling of the document export request can be advantageously eliminated.
