STP Energy Market Solution

Streamlined & Optimized Front-to-Back

In today's volatile energy markets you need to save time, manage risk and run your operations seamlessly. Like booking a direct flight instead of one with layovers, you want streamlined trading operations that run with speed, accuracy, efficiency and reliability to avoid delays and missed opportunities.

You want proven technology that will help you conduct your business and complete your transactions with confidence and ease.


What STP Does For You:

OpenLink's Endur-based STP Energy Markets solution links an organization's front-, middle-, and back-office office processes, simplifies operations, and consolidates information from a big-picture view to pinpoint focus. You'll realize a high degree of security, control and auditability, as well as a corresponding reduction in operational risk.

Endur provides real-time updates, robust management of both market and credit risks, automation of processing tasks, and a sophisticated set of reporting tools. It delivers a detailed view of what happens, when it happens throughout a trade's life cycle, reducing the possibility of human errors and lowering costs.

From the simplest transactions to the most complex, Endur covers a broad range of commodity trades including natural gas, power, crude oil and refined products, base and precious metals, coal, weather derivatives, emissions, and foreign exchange instruments.


What Makes Our STP Solution Different

Although many vendors claim to offer "cross-market, integrated solutions", they often provide nothing more than stitched-together patchworks of separate systems or modules. OpenLink stands out as one of the few vendors with a true cross-market, totally integrated front-, middle-, and back-office application that supports a wide range of trading activities.

From its very beginning, Endur had always offered an integrated environment with neither compromises nor patchworks.

Furthermore, OpenLink protects your trading, risk management and operational software investments by providing a full choice of adaptive, scalable solutions that will work as efficiently tomorrow as they do today.
