Take Control of your Risk Technology

Issues with Existing Commodity Risk Management systems:

  • If you are like most organizations out there – and we have talked to a lot of people – risk management is more a matter of luck than systems and processes.
  • You / your team wrestle with excel spreadsheets, formulae and obtuse calculations; most of which nobody understands. You may not even be sure that your calculations are returning the right values needed for accurate decision making.
  • You use systems that are best described as “legacy”. They were put in place a while ago and you realize the need for a replacement. The problem is, none of the systems in the market meet your requirements.
  • Your existing excel based software does not scale enough to meet your current or near-future needs. This means you end up duplicating your efforts to aid your decision making.
  • Your existing system might require you to manually enter many inputs and settings – thus introducing inadvertent errors into your calculations.
  • Your existing system cannot talk to your current commodity trading system; thereby introducing further inefficiencies in your already slow process.
