most important buying criteria isn’t multi-commodity ca-
pabilities, rather it’s having sufficient depth and breadth
of functionality that address the wide-ranging complexi-
ties associated the physical commodity or commodities
that they manage, and at a price that they can justify.
This need has only grown in recent years as the empha-
sis has migrated from simply supporting trade capture
and position management (and its back-office process-
es) to a more holistic supply chain requirement that im-
proves visibility into costs and allows operational risks to
be better managed. In these days of lower commodity
prices, harder to find profits, and increased stakeholder
scrutiny, users increasingly need to have deep physical
supply chain support in their ETRM solutions. In these
