Value from your ETRM IT Investment

Seminel is the specialist business and IT consultancy that works with companies in the Energy Industry to unlock the value in their IT systems.

We partner with selected technology companies to enable their systems deliver maximum benefit to the users.

Seminel enables companies in the Energy market to optimise expenditure by helping them link their business needs and goals to their processes and systems.

In general, the IT implemented by companies for Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) is not sufficiently flexible to meet the demands created by the ongoing liberalisation of the Energy markets. Seminel has developed a fresh approach to maximising the value of your ETRM IT infrastructure: see Energy Risk article and also Maximising ETRM ROI.

We have developed the Seminel Component Framework (SCF), a pragmatic way to integrate your data and harmonise your processes to enable a consistent and value-added view of your data. The approach is intended to provide competitive edge with minimum cost and timescale. We assist our clients to implement and/or optimise processes and systems in order to:
  • improve operational efficiency and consequently reduce costs: see Commodities Now article - Energy Industry Collaboration Revolution
  • enhance decision making in trading, risk management, operations and senior management through having appropriate, consistent and timely information across the enterprise
  • reduce operational (and reputational) risk through eliminating costly errors
  • liberate users to perform value-added processes rather than manual, repetitive, labour-intensive task
  • enable the business to respond flexibly to changes in the needs of the organisation as well as the demands of the marketplace.
