Flexible, Scalable Solution
A real benefit of AspectCTRM is in its ability to be customized and tailored to these different business types, as no business – even in the same industry segment – works the same. Our engineers have developed common workflows and processes in the system to address a large percentage of requirements in trading and risk – with add-on components and workflow configurations available for specific company needs. This is achieved through our fully scalable and flexible AspectCTRM Standard and Enterprise Editions. The Lite Edition supplies small to mid-size companies with needed requirements out-of-the-box with no customization. AspectCTRM includes several modules depending on the industry.
All editions are deployed swiftly with immediate return-on-investment. This entirely Web-based approach reduces hardware costs as there is no installation process and allows easy access for users spread across the globe. SaaS delivery makes swift deployment possible, coupled with our component based approach, depending on your company’s needs you can chose the specific features and functionality you require, giving you flexibility as your business needs change or grow.
Many petroleum marketers and retail chains with hedging programs need only the specific positions management requirement found in our Lite Edition with no Physical Operations functions. They’re able to deploy within a few days with an affordable solution that meets their specific needs around optimizing petroleum procurement and hedging against their physical positions.
AspectCTRM is used by traders, risk managers, operations staff and back-office personnel. Our single platform handles functionality across front, middle and back office: trade capture, managing positions, viewing exposure and analyzing risks and accounting functions to name a few.
Control and transparency are the keys to any successful trading operation. Here are the building blocks without which one cannot establish proper corporate governance and best practices. When I joined TNK one of my first priorities was to implement a new system of operations control through ASPectCTRM, which now, in my opinion, is the best in the market. It allows tracking of movements at any time: what was sold, who the seller and buyer were, and what the market situation was at that moment, and all this marked-to-market. Transparency is one of the keys to making the right decisions, absolutely vital in a competitive market in which one tries continuously to optimize results.
We looked at a number of alternatives but felt that Aspect’s SaaS approach was the best fit with our needs. It’s proved highly affordable, very fast to implement and it’s enabling us to more accurately monitor our exposure and manage the business more effectively. Having talked to other Aspect users, we have confidence in the solutions’ ability to support us with additional functions as we continue to grow.
