ETRM & CTRM Platforms
Develop trading and risk platforms around your energy and commodity business.
Overview
What this means for your business.
ETRM and CTRM systems support the connected activities of trading, scheduling, risk, finance and operations.
Capmark helps energy and commodity businesses assess, implement, integrate and upgrade their platform estate, with selection grounded in the products and operating requirements in scope.
Our Markets & Trading ETRM & CTRM capability provides the detailed platform expertise, connecting configuration and data with workflows, controls and transition.
What we do
The expertise we bring.
Candidate platforms scored against your actual deal types — PPAs, storage and transport capacity, cargoes — with demonstrations scripted around your book and total cost priced across licence, integration and upgrade cycles. The output is a recommendation the board can fund.
We own the build from deal capture through confirmation, scheduling, actualisation, settlement and invoicing, with book structure and curves configured to how the desk trades and interfaces tested before go-live. Controls are designed in from the start.
The ETRM works as part of an estate: scheduling and nomination systems, market data, risk, finance and logistics. We design and deliver the interfaces, and the data model that keeps deal, delivery and settlement records consistent across them.
Book and data migration with reconciliation evidence, parallel run against the legacy position, and a rehearsed cutover the business signs off. Trading continues through the change, and the fallback is defined before it is needed.
Version upgrades run as full programmes, and recovery where an implementation has stalled or gone live unstable or incomplete. We stabilise first — breaks, interfaces, manual workarounds — then re-baseline scope, plan and vendor commitments and take accountability for completion.
Estates accumulate systems by acquisition and by desk. We assess which platforms the business actually needs, plan the consolidation deal type by deal type, and retire systems with the data and reconciliation evidence retained.
What to expect
A team shaped around the work.
The first weeks are spent in your book and your current estate: deal types, interfaces, reconciliation breaks and the workarounds grown around the system. Selection is run vendor-agnostic, and where we recommend a platform we are prepared to implement it. Delivery runs with a standing view of risks and decisions, a small senior team, and a Capmark principal accountable throughout.
A six-week selection or platform health check is the most common starting point.
