The platform supports a comprehensive set of exchanges and instruments to meet the unique needs of each different asset class, including Crude Oil, Refined Distillates, Petrochemicals, NGL, Cryogenic Liquids, Biofuels, Solar, Wind and Hydropower.
Born on the Cloud
As Eka’s cloud native platform offers total flexibility, scalability and mobility – giving traders access to the information they need from mobile devices wherever they are in the world. Businesses need only choose the apps they require, adding more as they need over time. Apps can be deployed independently and quickly connected across multiple assets. This easy extensibility means features can be added without interrupting existing functions and enables the total solution to be more cost effective and rapidly deployed. Unlike traditional monolithic platform architectures, even the first implementation of the platform can be up and running in weeks vs. months. This fast deployment means benefits can be captured almost immediately enabling a faster return on investment (ROI).
The changes in the energy sector mean speed is becoming a key imperative to grow business and protect margins. The cloud-native Eka ETRM solution provides the speed and flexibility to give energy businesses a clear advantage in the marketplace. Ultimately, the Eka platform is proving to be a game-changer in energy trading and is enabling greater businesses agility to better respond to volatile energy markets.
