Capture, analyze and simulate energy risk exposures

RiskAdvisory, a division of SAS, provides market-leading energy trading and risk management (ETRM) solutions to help energy companies and other organizations prosper in volatile energy and commodity markets. Its SAS® BookRunner® solution offers commodity capture, advanced analytics, and a full suite of modeling and reporting capabilities in an integrated framework, enabling a portfolio-wide view that enhances risk management and strategic decision-making.

Founded in Calgary, Canada, in 1995 by accomplished energy risk professionals, RiskAdvisory has earned a strong reputation as the ETRM vendor of choice for energy market participants. Its 2003 acquisition by SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market, enabled RiskAdvisory to blend its ETRM solutions with the integrated data framework and superior business analytics, support services and worldwide reach for which SAS is known. RiskAdvisory can connect with global energy customers around the world through the SAS presence of 238 offices in 53 countries.

RiskAdvisory provides deal capture, data analysis and scenario modeling solutions for customers in the Exploration & Production companies, Gas & Power utilities, Refining & Marketing firms, Storage & Transportation companies, Manufacturers & end-Users, Hedge Funds and Financial services firms. The combination of SAS BookRunner solution suite with SAS’ sophisticated analytical tools has created synergies that offer broad risk management benefits through a new approach called Energy Commodity Risk Aggregation and Analytics (ECRAA).

The SAS BookRunner solution embeds risk management into everyday processes at all levels of an organization – such as forecasting fluctuations in energy prices to help manage profit/loss – and generates improved insights into marketplace volatility. The benefits include:

• Increased risk analyst productivity through automation.

• Enhanced ability to quickly respond to requests for updated forecasts.

• Faster response time through self-serve access by stakeholders.

• Increased data accuracy, integrity and consistency.

• Better insights into the energy marketplace through advanced analytics.

• Enhanced data management, audit trails and reporting.

SAS BookRunner is also one of the first ETRM solutions to create mobility for risk executives, with dashboards that publish to any desktop or smart handheld device.

RiskAdvisory operates as a group of energy industry professionals who support risk management requirements globally using the modular SAS BookRunner solution suite: SAS BookRunner Commodity Capture, SAS BookRunner Analytics Workbench and SAS BookRunner Advanced Analytics. Available individually or as a suite, the modules are all powered by the robust, flexible SAS 9.2 software platform.

RiskAdvisory offers the specialized knowledge and long-term commitment to help energy companies make better decisions faster.
