About OpenLink
The global leader in trading and risk management solutions
For over two decades, OpenLink has provided leading-edge technology solutions to an increasingly diverse
client base. Building on our pioneering development of cross-asset trading and risk management products for
energy and financial services companies, we now offer a suite of solutions designed to meet the specific needs
of clients within three broad categories:
Commodities
Globalization of operations and a proliferation of contract types mean processors and manufacturers
face increased complexity in managing inventory and forward commitment of commodities. There is a
greater risk of supplier default, and price volatili ty continues. At the same time, unprecedented pressure
on operating costs is driving a renewed focus on costs and efficiency.
OpenLink products provide commodities companies with the operational insights necessary to address
risks, forecast consumption and optimize production. Our systems also provide superior tools to help
manage exposure to commodity prices and currency fluctuations.
Energy
OpenLink provides complete trading and risk management solutions for energy and power companies
in all areas of the supply chain, helping our customers effectively manage crude and refined products,
NGLs, natural gas, power, and coal.
Energy trading companies, utilities, generators, producers and processors around the globe rely on
OpenLink solutions to help minimize risks and maximize profitability in an uncertain and increasingly
complex energy marketplace.
Financial Services
A barrage of regulatory initiatives is transforming the landscape in commodities and derivatives trading.
New OTC regulations will demand changes to the way financial institutions clear and report trades, as
well as manage collateral. At the same time, unprecedented pressure on operating costs is driving a
renewed focus on costs and efficiency.
Banks, asset managers and other financial services institutions use OpenLink for trading, risk
management and operations processing, enabling them to better address the demands of all
stakeholders.
OpenLink provides these companies with complete solutions for planning, procuring, processing, managing,
moving and trading commodities and energy, right along the workflow from trade capture to accounting, risk,
reporting and compliance.
With hundreds of established clients, OpenLink technologies are the preferred solution among leading energy
and commodity companies, financial services firms, multinational corporations, public utilities, hedge funds and
central banks.
OpenLink has received numerous industry awards and recognition, including citations as the industry leader in
Commodity/Energy Trading and Risk Management (C/ETRM) systems and first-in-class ranking by Energy
Risk magazine, with analyst firms Gartner and Chartis citing OpenLink as a leader in trading platforms.
