Marketing plays an important role in the natural gas supply chain by helping to ensure that there is an adequate supply of natural gas and by providing a conduit to the market.  Allegro’s solution supports the buying and selling of physical and financial instruments, using comprehensive valuation and simulation tools and deal approval for proactive credit during execution and deal capture.  Transactions from electronic exchanges can be automatically entered into the Allegro environment.  In-depth risk reporting including real-time P&L, VaR, and credit exposure gives risk managers the information they need to execute quickly and with confidence.  Settlement and actualization processes are automated with Allegro’s back office functionality.

• Allegro supports transaction and contract management, settlement, financials, and risk management by enabling traders to capture transactions in real-time - directly into the risk system.  Integrated physical and financial portfolio management gives traders and risk managers the ability to relate physical and financial positions to risk, and develop “what if” scenarios necessary to optimize choices and immediately respond to changing market conditions.  Allegro’s natural gas solutions provide more efficient, automated processes for managing price indices and curves.  They also provide immediate reporting resulting in a comprehensive, secure, and auditable record of all energy transactions.
