ETRM: An Outlook of its Applications

Capital Markets CIO Outlook | Friday, November 30, 2018

Europe has seen continuous growth in energy and risk management (ETRM) and has begun to address the adoption of automation technologies. The 1990s gave birth to the Brady ETRM in connection with the Northern European markets - the time when firms like Sinergetica and Energeya had a great market share from southern Europe. Various technology offerings such as SaaS, cloud services, real-time data usage, and complex sensitivity analysis have strengthened the traders, and their trust in ETRM is continuously improving. According to Market Research Engine, the market is expected to increase about 3.5 percent between 2015 and 2020.

Allegro, developed in the U.S. since 1984, is one of the best ETRM platforms in the market which provides risk management solutions to organizations with large commodities and energy management. Horizon is the most recent software product company which provides solutions for oil, gas and power traders. Horizon manages the front office as well as the back office and ensures flexibility in the accounting department of an organization.
