“We needed a fully functional and integrated trading and risk management solution to optimize and automate where possible our manual, spreadsheet-based business processes and to improve real-time controls and reporting. Our objective was to deliver a solution that would maximize operational efficiency across the Trading business, while at the same time provide an infrastructure that would minimize and control levels of operational risk. The flexibility and extensibility of the Allegro product allows Bord Gáis Éireann to effectively and efficiently manage our various cross commodity business processes, including those more unique aspects of our operations.”

Expertise makes the difference.

Foundation Translate Stage

During this stage, the customer provides Allegro with their data which Allegro then converts and configures into a standard format. Customers can rely on Allegro’s vast industry expertise and proven methodology to prepare data for upcoming stages. The Translate Stage includes:

  • Project Infrastructure. After the customer provides the project network infrastructure Allegro delivers the software and works with your IT staff to install and create the required project databases.
  • Data Source Definition. We meet with your team to review the data that will be converted as part of the project. We then identify and document the source for each data set. Source data is then loaded into the database using a reproducible data load process that allows us to easily refresh the data as necessary throughout the project.
  • Data Conversion. We populate a Configuration database with industry standard reference data and customer specific configuration data. We execute data conversion scripts to migrate data from the Data Source and Configuration databases into a Conversion database.
  • Data Verification. We execute business processes in-scope, using customer data to ensure the accurate and complete migration and integration of data from the Allegro and customer sources.
  • Translate Stage Completion. To close the Translate Stage, Allegro submits a Stage Completion Notification to customer project lead to document the mutual agreement of both teams to the completion of the stage.

At the conclusion of the Translate Stage, all data has been converted and configured into a standard format.
