CTRM Vendor Perceptions 2018
A ComTechAdvisory Report
MARKET LEADERSHIP CATEGORIES
Overall CTRM/ETRM Market Leader
When it comes to perceived overall market leadership,
more than 30% of the respondents don’t know if there is a
market leader or who it would be. However, of those with
an opinion, the majority of those with an opinion again
perceived ION OpenLink to be the overall market lead-
er (49%) in CTRM software with Allegro in second place
with 28%. Several other vendors were mentioned as
perceived overall leaders including ION generally, SAP,
Brady PLC, FIS, Contigo, Amphora and ION TriplePoint, but only by a handful of respondents each (Figure 12).
By comparison to 2016, ION Openlink has extended its lead over Allegro however, there is more uncertainty
as to who the leader is. This is perhaps unsurprising given the M&A activity in the space and the advent of the
cloud and cloud-enabled CTRM.
Energy
In the broad category of overall energies, of those that
expressed an opinion (68%), slightly more than half iden-
tified ION OpenLink as the perceived market leader. Alle-
gro also showed highly with 31%. A number of other ven-
dors were also identified as perceived market leaders in
energy including ION generally, Amphora, Contigo, ION
Triple Point, Brady, Murex and Pioneer (Figure 13). In this
category, ION OpenLink and Allegro have both gained in
leadership perceptions over the 2016 survey.
