ITAR isn't really a process in JDE - it refers to a type of security and government regulations for the US that control the export an import of defense-related information.
ITAR regulations are quite difficult to completely understand and to implement since they aren't specific to todays global requirements - they were developed and enacted in the height of the cold war. They have been known to have reduced US marketshare for specific technologies since other countries would rather not work with the US because of the strict rules of ITAR and the strict penalties.
The best way to look at ITAR is the duck test - if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. JDE can contain sensitive information - specifically drawings - which absolutely are covered under ITAR. However, there is some data - such as a Bill Of Materials - that might not be covered by ITAR. The saying goes, you can build a helicopter from a drawing - but you can't build a helicopter from a BOM. However, there ARE some ITAR specifics that might be contained - including pricing and test information.
The important steps are to identify what IS ITAR specific, and to then remove the ability to view that information, using security, from international users that might be covered under ITAR. The issue is that what is covered under ITAR for one company, might not be covered for another company, therefore there is no "solution" for ITAR, but often the tracking of the information can still occur through E1's auditing features.
There ARE ITAR specific exemptions and treaties, that minimize the impact on US companies that work with Canada.
As a side item, if you are working with an offshore development arm, you might have a major issue with ITAR data - since Offshore Countries (except Canada) do not have exemptions for data. As such, any violation of data that might occur can create major penalties.
Lastly, if you have a defense organization that is offshore, and that data becomes centralized - if it becomes accessible to a US National, then that data is immediately then covered under ITAR, and cannot be exported back to the offshore company without a license. This can cause MAJOR headaches for companies that have bought foreign defense organizations and means that it is very difficult to then centralize the data for the enterprise.
