The CTRM Blog

CommodityPoint has historically undertaken assessments of market size for Energy Trading & Risk Management (ETRM) Software on a two year cycle. The last two studies of this kind were published for European ETRM market size in October 2007 and for North American ETRM market size in August 2009. For the first time, CommodityPoint has extended the scope of its market sizing studies to include all commodities in order to present an analysis of the market size for Commodity Trading & Risk Management software¹. This type of market sizing data is critical for this industry as it is used by investors, software firms, consulting organizations and others to support investment decisions and guide the allocation of resources (both capital and human).

The 2011 CommodityPoint CTRM Market Sizing Study report is now available for download;

The May 2011 edition of the CommodityPoint CTRM Sourcebook is now available either here:

The CTRM Technical Conference to be held in Prague on May 23rd is rapidly taking shape. The complete agenda should be available in a week or so but it now also includes Mr. Michal Skalka who is Director of the Trading group at CEZ in addition to Mr. Rob Pringle, Head of IT for Gazprom Marketing and Trading. Other speakers include Mr. Aviv Handler of Sirius Solutions.

Finally, the event is pretty much fully sponsored too with SolArc and Eka signing up as full sponsors and Pioneer Solutions agreed to sponsor one of the coffee breaks.
