Breaking Free From Legacy ETRM: How a European Energy Giant Unlocked Profitable Trades

byKiana Cruz

In the fast-paced world of energy trading, timing is everything. Market dynamics can shift in a heartbeat, and being able to spot opportunities quickly makes all the difference. For a European multinational energy corporation (MEC), staying ahead was a daily struggle—until they decided to break free from their cumbersome legacy ETRM system. The result?

  1. Faster trades
  2. Increased profitability
  3. A newfound sense of control in an otherwise volatile market

The Challenge: Flying Blind in Global Energy Markets

The energy market is a high-stakes game. Traders are under constant pressure to make quick, profitable decisions—but for this MEC, a legacy ETRM solution was hindering that agility. Despite being armed with a wealth of datasets from exchanges, market research and news sources, traders found themselves drowning in the manual task of curating data. Worse still, their outdated technology couldn’t integrate with third-party data sources properly, leaving them with missing pricing information at the most critical times. Simply put, they were flying blind when it came to building accurate curves and identifying market anomalies.

Traders were spending more time managing data than analyzing it, and every minute spent chasing data was a missed opportunity to act.

Want to read the full story on how this MEC upgraded their entire trading analytics solutions?
