Risks
• Allegro ’ s open architecture enables customers to model their business processes through the front end of the software without scripting outside the core software , enabling easy and cost effective implementations and upgrades while allowing for agility as customers adapt to market change .
• Broadening its commodities coverage will enable it to meet more opportunities .
• Sustained CTRM / ETRM market weakness may limit sales of new products .
• Continued weakness in metals and concentrates markets could limit return on development investments
• Much of the future CTRM growth will be around cloud and SaaS deployment . Allegro Horizon is available in the cloud but more investment in this area may be needed .
• While much of Allegro ’ s growth has been organic and its acquisitions have been targeted and complementary , management vigilance is required to ensure issues around overlapping product functionality and integration do not arise in future acquisitions .
