Off-the-shelf pricing, valuation and risk management application for energy and commodities

Risk management is one of the most complex areas of an energy organisation’s business processes and requires sharp focus from both business and IT perspectives. There is a large disparity between the capabilities of spreadsheet based tools and risk modules of general ETRM systems, to that of an “all encompassing” fully integrated risk analytics application.

Lacima’s dedicated risk management application – “Lacima riskAnalytics,” is specifically designed for energy market participants to address complex multi commodity portfolio risk modeling, valuation, and optimization, while providing full controls to meet risk reporting regulatory compliance.

With Lacima riskAnalytics, you can achieve a consolidated view of risk metrics for complex contracts and physical assets, across multiple commodities, regions, without the cost of having to replace your existing deal capture, data management and back office systems.

All aspects of Lacima riskAnalytics are designed around the modeling frameworks, numerical techniques, models, algorithms, and other applied research developed by Lacima's principals, Dr Les Clewlow and Dr Chris Strickland, who are recognised by Energy Risk magazine's Hall of Fame, an appointment which recognizes the top 50 energy professionals in the world – the pioneers for the market.
