Real Results from Real Clients

The Challenge

Our client, was struggling with a fragmented trading landscape. They used one system for power trading, another for natural gas, and a labyrinth of Excel spreadsheets for risk reporting.

  • Data Silos: Risk managers spent 4 hours a day manually aggregating data.
  • High Maintenance Costs: Maintaining three separate on-premise servers was costing over $2M annually.
  • Lack of Agility: It took weeks to onboard new trading products or counterparties.

The Solution: Gravitas ETRM

The utility chose Gravitas ETRM for its unified, cloud-native architecture. Within 6 months, we migrated their entire portfolio—spanning power, gas, and renewables—onto a single platform.

Unified Data Model

A single source of truth for all commodities eliminated data reconciliation errors.

Automated Workflows

Straight-through processing (STP) automated 85% of trade confirmations.

The Results

The impact was immediate and measurable. By decommissioning legacy hardware and streamlining operations, the client achieved significant ROI in the first year.
