Free access to ITC's market analysis tools as of 1 January 2008
A common user management system is now operational. It allows users to create a unique account to access Trade Map, Market Access Map and Investment Map. Product Map should be part of this common user management system at a later stage.
It should be noted that from now on, users will self-register to access these tools. TIPS will therefore no longer create such access for users.
Please proceed as follows to access the tools:
Trade Map
A new version of Trade Map with advanced features has been developed over the last few months and is now available. Users who already had an access to the previous Trade Map version will need to create a new username and password to access the new Trade Map version. To do so, any user from will need to register on http://beta.trademap.net/ and will get an automatic password confirmation.
TIPS' current clients with active passwords will still have access to the previous customized version of Trade Map South Africa after 1 January 2008 for about two to three months.
Market Access Map
TIPS and its registered users can continue to access the customized version of MAcMap South Africa after 1 January 2008.
Around mid-January, Market Access Map will integrate the user common management system. The account that the user will have created on Trade Map or/and Investment Map will thus be available on Market Access Map.
Investment Map
No new version is planned at this stage. Current registered users can continue to access the customized version of Investment Map South Africa after 1 January 2008 with their current password. Any new users from South Africa will need to register on www.investmentmap.org and will get an automatic password confirmation.
Product Map
As of 3 January 2008, all users in South Africa can now access all 72 Product Maps free of charge. Visit Product Map at: http://www.p-maps.org for your automatic free access.
