TRM Ancillary Software Vendor and Product SourceBook

Introduction to the CommodityPoint Trading & Risk Management Ancillary Software SourceBook The CommodityPoint TRM Ancillary Software SourceBook is designed to be a useful and usable resource to help those seeking software solutions that support or enhance the functional capabilities of their trading infrastructures, including their core commodity trading and risk management systems. This document should be viewed as a starting point in that selection process, providing a high-level guide to allow you to select a long list of vendors for inclusion in an RFI and/or RFP process. It is NOT designed to be a replacement for your selection process. TRM Ancillary software is simply often too complex to be selected properly without a reliable and complete selection process. We anticipate that the CommodityPoint TRM Ancillary Software SourceBook will allow you to compile a list of vendors that may include some you might otherwise not have considered or may even not previously been aware of. In that way, we believe it can make your selection process more complete. We have developed a readily consumable format for each vendor and product listing that has summary information about each vendor and product that includes:

• • • • • •

Functional and commodity coverage Contact details Product and vendor information Representative clients Geographical and industry segment distribution of users Website details

The product functionality and other information are presented using charts which are easily readable providing information about the vendor’s functional coverage. CommodityPoint’s methodology for constructing the Sourcebook was to develop a spreadsheet and questionnaire for each vendor. The spreadsheet was completed by the vendor in which they identified by commodity and function or feature whether their software had capabilities in that area. These were inspected by CommodityPoint and some adjustments made before final collation of the information. The questionnaire was used, in part, to complete the vendor/product listing along with information collected in other CommodityPoint surveys and research. The listings are compiled by CommodityPoint analysts. If you are aware of a product that should be considered for inclusion in this TRM Ancillary Software SourceBook, please let us know. We are dedicated to making this and every SourceBook by CommodityPoint the ultimate resource for industry participants seeking data and information on software products and their vendors.

Important Disclaimer

It should be noted that CommodityPoint cannot guarantee the accuracy of the Vendor listings although we have attempted to match vendor claims against our knowledge of the market. In fact, given the complexity of the TRM Ancillary Software space generally, we cannot guarantee that the vendors have interpreted the terminology we used accurately in preparing their responses nor that each vendor has applied the same approach and/or interpretation in answering our questions. Rather, the material is presented on the basis that it is indicative of the broad capabilities of vendorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products at the time of its printing. CommodityPoint strongly advises users of this document to verify with the vendors and undertake requisite due diligence when selecting software. Additionally, CommodityPoint analysts are available to assist or provide additional input on a consulting basis.

•

RFP review – we examine the RFP for omissions and oversights while helping ensure that the vendors it is sent to are the ones that have the best chance of meeting the requirement

•

Vendor response analysis and scoring – we help in reviewing vendor responses and developing scoring mechanisms for the project

•

Project plan reviews – we examine the project plan and scope and advise on omissions, timescales and costs

•

Pre-selection workshop – CommodityPoint educates the core selection team on the market, vendors, implementation experience and more to better prepare you for the experience

•

Final Selection – review of project deliverables and advice on the contracts process as well as starting to review proposed implementation teams, costs, and timescales

•

Implementation Assistance – Checkpoint and milestone reviews of the project

CommodityPoint has delivered such services on numerous occasions and has been credited with saving money, reducing timescales and project risks by our clients. Please contact us for more details on how we can assist you by emailing us at mtredway@utilipoint.com.

TRM Ancillary Software Vendor and Product SourceBook

Product and Vendor Listing Each Vendor and Product listing is arranged according to the same format for clarity and ease of use. The listings comprise: • • • • • • •

The name of the vendor and product A graph showing the distribution by geography and industry segment of the product’s installed base Company and product information comprised from a variety of sources including vendor’s website, collateral and CommodityPoint material A graphical matrix providing an overview of the product's capabilities Vendor’s office locations A representative list of users of the product – where provided by the vendor The vendor’s website address

The listing allows rapid comparisons between vendor products as well as a pulse check in terms of whether that product is one utilized in your geography of operation and/or industry segment. The functionality matrix shows the area of functionalities or system features. This is indicated via color coding to make the graphic rapidly consumable and easy to read or compare and contrast with other listed products. Overall, the listings provide sufficient compact detail to identify vendors and products that may meet your requirements and should therefore be candidates for your long list at the start of a selection exercise. Those thinking about a software selection exercise may wish to consult our book – Selecting & Implementing Energy Trading, Transaction & Risk Management Software – A Primer (Reames & Vasey, 2008) published by Booksurge Publishing, for additional best practices and guidance.
