Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) Services

The volatility in the financial and energy markets has hastened the convergence of pure energy players and energy derivatives traders. The cascading effect will be felt both in the downstream and upstream sectors, as companies address the integration of trading systems with enterprise suites. It will enable them to achieve superior performance in risk management and eliminate data redundancy, manual intervention and validation.

Infosys has a dedicated energy trading and risk management practice that serves global majors. We have established an ETRM academy to develop our competencies. Our associates deliver value by leveraging multi-dimensional skills across the front office, mid office and back office trading activities, including hedging instruments, risk management strategies, logistics and contract management, petroleum refining, invoicing and settlement, and pricing and forward curves.

Infosys serves clients through a broad services footprint and a robust resource base with in-depth application knowledge, technology expertise and industry experience.
