STINS COMAN and IRM completed the implementation of a portfolio/risk- and physical asset optimization and energy trading system at
INTER RAO UES
The software solution for the underlying project implementation was developed by IRM / OpenLink - the Austrian daughter company of OpenLink International and a predominant solutions provider to the global energy and commodities industry - and has no analogues in Russia. Furthermore it is the first successful ETRM (Energy Trading and Risk Management) project of its kind in Russia. Stins Coman is an exclusive partner for the delivery of iOPT solution in the power sector in Russia. At present the company has several implementation projects for the system in OREM related companies. One of the main issues successfully solved by Stins Coman and IRM experts was the adaptation of this solution to OREM specifics (regulations), translation into the Russian language and effective customization for JSC "INTER RAO UES", for tasks needed when operating in OREM, and for support in the area of export and import of electric energy.
“INTER RAO UES” company was one of the first in Russia who drew attention to the solution offered by “Stins Coman”, and noticed an opportunity for quality improvement and automation of their business processes in
• Planning and forecasting of results in trading activities,
• Optimization of generation equipment,
• Automation of RSV and VSVGO bids preparation,
• Aptimization of export and import operations for power and
• Contracts Portfolio / market risk management.
"I am pleased to note that one of the largest energy companies of Russia – INTER RAO UES- decided to implement a state of the art technology and innovative product solution such as IOPT, which is in use at more than 60 energy companies overall in the world” - said Bogdan Shatunov, Head of Energy Department of Stins Coman. -. “Owing to it, our specialists have been able to customize the most powerful product to Russian specificities in such a short period of time (7 months). One of the main challenges solved successfully by Stins Coman and IRM experts was the implementation of OREM (Specifics of the Russian Power markets) in Cyrilic language and customization of JSC "INTER RAO UES" specific business requirements“.
“Owing to the use of standardized, totally integrated software – iOPT system - we succeeded in rather diverse but relative tasks solution implementation in the scope of unified system, - said Gennady Semenov, Deputy Head of Trading Division, Project Manager of “INTER RAO UES”, - this is, of course, will have a positive effect on decision making efficiency, when operating in energy markets. It is also important to mention that one of the main results in this project have been the implementation of the technological platform, that will allow to implement further development of the system for the software package total potential reveal, offering by “Stins Coman”, and in ultimately short periods make adaptation to rapidly changing conditions of the Russian market.”
„This was our first project in Russia, therefore it was really important to show on the one hand the flexibility and capability of our product covering Russian market requirements and on the other hand to show that based on OpenLink/IRM professional project management and energy experts together with a strong and reliable partner we could deliver projects successfully on time in Russia”, said Markus Seiser, Managing Director of IRM.
New York, New York - June 3rd, 2011 – Open Link Financial, Inc. (OpenLink), a leading provider of cross-asset trading, risk management and operations processing software, today released findings from a recent webinar which surveyed senior energy and commodities industry professionals focused on assessing supply and demand dynamics for energy commodities in Russia.
During the event, 57% of participants revealed that their top priorities when preparing for the Russian market open would include a strong trading and execution platform with vigorous risk management capabilities that can support a multi-commodity environment.
Dr. Markus Seiser, Managing Director, OpenLink Central Europe, commenting on this survey response noted, “This supports our view that there is a strong desire for organizations to participate in the potential opportunities that the growing Russian power and gas markets will provide. Companies who are looking to invest in the region understand that to combat the challenges of emerging markets with changing regulations, high degrees of volatility and complexity, they require robust and flexible solutions. Understanding this growing trend, OpenLink began investing in the Russian market a few years ago and has maintained an office in Moscow since 2010 which supports a professional services organization with local market skills. This enables us to meet the needs of organizations seeking to profit from this market.”
“The Russian market is continuing to become a major component within the global energy and commodities trading landscape, especially as Supply and Demand imbalances increase as a result of emerging market growth and the sustained uncertainty created by the ‘Arab Spring,’” said OpenLink’s CEO Kevin Hesselbirg. “The findings showcase the key value dynamic trading and risk technology will have in helping market participants and we are pleased to be on the forefront of these solutions for our clients and the industry.”
Prior to the event, industry professionals were also asked what is most important to them when preparing for the market opening. Their responses were as follows:
Price forecasting and analytical tools 44%
Straight thru processing – trading and risk management 24%
Optimized balance of supply and demand for all related commodities 24%
Connectivity tools and market communication 8%
To aid market participants interested in the Russian market OpenLink recently launched a Russian language website (visit us here) demonstrating our global solutions which are designed to not only include the required functionality, but also to be adaptable enough to meet the emerging needs of markets and regions as they evolve.

optimizing of physical assets. The survey revealed that while many have made progress, the increasing complexity of their operating environments is stressing current analytical models. Over 80% of the respondents said they struggle modeling all the assets in the portfolio and 62% of respondents stated that they needed to more rapidly calculate optimal results in response to changes in the market.
During the survey, industry professionals were also asked what the most important next steps to improving performance of their landscape are. The top four strategies for improving performance were:
Integrating trading and operations workflow 23%
Optimizing simultaneously across the entire portfolio 21%
Modeling different time horizons 13%
Ensuring data integrity 11%
Patrick Reames, Managing Director, the Americas, at CommodityPoint, noted, “Companies should
always be looking to maximize returns on their physical assets. Unfortunately, most commercial
ETRM/CTRM physical commodity capable systems are focused on managing logistics, such as
scheduling, and have limited capabilities to provide risk management and optimization of the
underlying assets, so the focus on optimizing portfolios and modeling is not surprising.”
Survey results supported this with 63% of respondents stating they had work to do to fully optimize results.
These findings confirm OpenLink’s technology blueprint for SmartETRM, which incorporates the
sophisticated trading and execution capabilities of its flagship Endur platform and the optimization
capabilities of its IRM solution suite all on a common data set designed to improve speed and reduce
operational risk. SmartETRM represents a new level of capability and integration allowing companies
to easily model and optimize the full value chain for any commodity, any market, any regulation and
any constraint with short response time.
Dr. Markus Seiser, Optimization Division President at OpenLink, commented, “The volatility inherent
in complex energy portfolios create opportunities to improve profit, reduce costs and leverage hedging
strategies throughout the lifecycle of a physical transaction. Market participants require advanced
technology solutions like OpenLink’s SmartETRM to translate real-time optimized data and decision
support into actionable trading and execution. This unlocks significant savings, improved
risk management and higher assurance of regulatory compliance.”

Our clients need to evaluate and monitor such additional variables as price differentials between the open market and stored commodities, physical constraints, inventory balances, and transportation options quickly and accurately. The evolution of the commodities market will continue to make trading more complex – requiring technology to supports real-time decisions and newly introduced variability.
