In the past trading houses had only two options: spreadsheets or big-budget custom software development programs. Now SaaS-delivered solutions combined with Cloud Computing offer a real, cost-effective alternative. With the global economy, regulatory environment and credit shrinkage increasingly mandating formalized systems for even small trading companies, SaaS offers fast-start, turnkey solutions without up-front investment or resource demands.

The Next Generation Of Outsourcing
Ben Pring, November 1, 2010
According to Technology Research Analyst Firm Gartner…
Increasingly, hosted or SaaS-based solutions are gaining favor among end users as a means of reducing capital costs, deployment times and support overheads. While traditionally these solutions were preferred options for smaller end users or end users with limited functional requirements, as the functional capabilities of SaaS - or application service provider (ASP)-based deployments grow, the appeal to larger organizations will widen.

Commodity Trading & Risk Management System (CTRM)


 

 

 
  • Are you struggling to understand your exact trading positions?
  • Has using spreadsheets reached its limit in your growing trading business, where visibility and the consolidation of your trades have become a painstaking process?

The costs of failing to manage and control risks are high, but the right Trading and Risk Management system configured in the right way will have a positive impact on profits, reduce cost of capital, reduce business volatility and improve the effectiveness of your trading operations world wide.
