On Monday evening I attended the SolArc After Hours event in London. In fact, I said a few words there too which was fun and gave away a copy of Trends in ETRM Software 2009 – 2010: A Primer to an attendee who first correctly guessed the amount of years SolArc will be celebrating in business this year (would you believe its 20?). The event was fun and it was good to catch up with a variety of friends and colleagues in the industry including Brad Anderson (CEO of SolArc) and his team, Marty Makulski of Opportune, Guy Isherwood of Commodities Now and many more.

SolArc today announced that Eco-Energy, an end-to-end midstream alternative energy company founded in 1990 to fill the significant void in the transportation and distribution sector of the alternative energy industry, had selected SolArc’s RightAngle application suite. Eco-Energy provides price-focused and service-oriented solutions to a variety of companies, including bio-fuel refiners, major oil companies, blenders, retailers, and other commodity companies.

Last week I attended the SolArc meeting in London along with my colleagues Patrick Reames and David Steele. I was honoured to present the keynote address to the meeting which was extremely well organized and attended.

Coming up on quite a busy period here in the Czech Republic. At the end of this week, CommodityPoint will move its office to the prestigious International Business Center in Brno where we will be much better equipped for client visits and the addition of further staff during the year.

Then next week I will be flying to London to present at SolArc’s user conference.
