Houston, Brno, 7 April 2010

CommodityPoint, the premier research, analyst and consulting firm covering commodity markets and technologies, today issued its CTRM Software Vendor and Product Sourcebook. The CTRM Software Vendor and Product Sourcebook is the definitive guide to the commodity trading and risk management (CTRM) software category incorporating listings for thirty-two different products across the CTRM software spectrum. The Sourcebook is available as a free download.

"The Sourcebook is intended to provide buyers of CTRM systems a singular resource to assist in identifying potential products and vendors that can provide solutions to meet their requirements," said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, Managing Director, CommodityPoint, Europe & Asia Pacific. "We have no doubt the Sourcebook will become the most widely used and referenced resource for prospective buyers and others seeking a comprehensive view of the market place."

The Sourcebook combines vendor and product information in an easily consumable manner and is derived from CommodityPoint research, vendor responses to our questionnaires and other sources. At a glance, readers can determine which products from which vendors may be suited to their requirements.

"The CTRM Software Vendor and Product Sourcebook provides innovative, unique views of vendor/product capabilities including graphical views of product functionality across commodities, from natural gas to freight derivatives; and industry segment and geographic coverage, from oil and gas producers to industrial commodity consumers, in North America, Europe, Asia-Pac, South America and Africa," said Patrick Reames, Managing Director, CommodityPoint, The Americas. "If a company is seeking a new CTRM system, this report should be their first and primary resource in identifying the systems and vendors that have the capabilities and market experience to potentially meet their unique needs."

The CTRM Sourcebook is the first of a new series of reference reports to be developed by CommodityPoint. Later this year, the company will release another Sourcebook covering CTRM trading tools and associated applications, providing in-depth coverage of software solutions such as price and data servers, analytics applications and market integration tools.
