Overview

Drive Business Integration while Lowering Total Cost of Ownership

The Entegrate solution was developed to allow energy market participants to leverage the synergies and best functionalities that exist among our software solutions for the energy industry.  Our strategy focused strategic R&D resources into an integrated solution based on open system architecture, and deployed via a thin client, Oracle 9iAS platform.  With Entegrate, energy companies will benefit from a more tightly integrated, comprehensive and secure commodity trading, risk management, scheduling and asset optimization technology. This translates to lower overall cost of ownership, and ease of implementation and maintenance for its users.

The Entegrate solution is comprised of Entegrate Risk, Entegrate Power and Entegrate Gas, integrated modules that meet the trading, risk management, scheduling and accounting needs of utilities, generating companies, power pools, gas and oil producers, processors and other energy market participants.  Entegrate offers exceptional ease of use for deal making, deal confirmations, invoicing, scheduling, mark-to-market, reporting, security, and credit because of its common user interface.  Users can accurately evaluate assets and market positions in real-time, determine acceptable risk levels, respond to regulatory requirements, compete successfully and enter new markets profitably.
