SERVICES


We focus exclusively on Energy Trading and Risk Management systems providing technical project leadership and a range of consulting and support services. Our consultants combine energy market business knowledge, acute technical understanding of ETRM systems and years of successful delivery experience within this environment.

Implementations/Re-Implementations

Organizational growth and progress must be immediately reflected within the ETRM application. We provide seamless solutions to re-align the portfolio setup or other platform enhancements with minimal impact to daily business.

Interfaces/Data Migrations

Robust data flows are an essential component of the energy trading business. We are familiar with all the data exchanges central to ETRM systems and the standard technical formats and messaging architectures involved. Our interfacing tools streamline data flows, thus minimizing disruptions of essential business activities.

Change Management

Advancing to a new release or an alternate ETRM system requires both a manager's grasp of business imperatives and a technician's knowledge of the inner workings of ETRM systems. Our unparalleled proficiency in this realm, fully compliant with IFRS and Sarbanes-Oxley standards, result in smooth and successful transitions.

Upgrades

Evolving energy markets require consistent upgrades to newer versions of ETRM systems. Drawing on our wealth of ETRM systems knowledge, we evaluate the impact of the target version, document best practices, requirements and workarounds and provide detailed management of the upgrade to ensure confidence in a "go-live" decision.

Maintenance

Our global presence allows 24x7 support backup for incident management with personnel trained in ETRM product specifics and your unique functional ETRM implementation. We offer a complete catalog of ETRM maintenance services such as overnight scripts, interface setups and routine checks.

Training

Our specialist trainers are experienced with both beginner and savvy end-users of the ETRM systems. We create and deliver custom-designed and/or standard teaching tools to provide either overview training or specific learning requests within your organization.


TOOLKIT


We offer a set of simple, yet powerful, utilities that ease the development, testing and deployment of our solutions. These tools are freely distributed for a 90-day period when we are engaged in a project, and are available as licensed products thereafter. The toolkit utilities are engineered to externalize business logic in open-standard XML to ensure transparency and longevity, deploy in a very light footprint, and are fully documented to reduce maintenance costs.

ETRMRecon

Certification of system integrity during upgrades is facilitated by our ETRMRecon tool which enable a user to define automated cell-level comparisons of ETRM output data with replicable and transparent results. The tool sifts through voluminous data and quickly highlights discrepancies which allows for rapid acknowledgement and acceptance of system changes.

ETRMTransform

Our XSLT processor can handle functions unique to ETRM systems such as EFA dates, regional Peak definitions, and standard trading lots and tenors. Combined with our XSLT catalogue, ETRMTransform currently serves a range of functions from data interfaces/migrations to generation of data-driven GUI and API test scripts.

Test Management Systems

Today's ETRM systems are commonly used as a system-of-record for many organizations which, combined with evolving regulatory requirements, require that system changes be administrated via a test management system to ensure compliance. We offer turnkey deployments and maintenance of Bugzilla/Testopia and HP Quality Center systems to provide disciplined management to your ETRM system changes.
