Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 20, 2005 -- MRE Consulting (MRE) announces that it has issued a new white paper on energy trading, transaction and risk management (ETRM) software selection and implementation best practice on the heels of a successful on line seminar it recently conducted on the same topic with leading energy and utilities analyst firm UtiliPoint International, Inc. The new white paper is available for download at the firm’s website at www.mre-consulting.com and provides best practice based on its experience and expertise in assisting clients with both ETRM and other software selections and implementations over the last several years.

Amongst other topics, the paper includes how to define project success, common mistakes to avoid, contract negotiation tips and more. The paper is designed to help the growing number of utilities, producers, marketers and others that are currently seeking to select and implement ETRM software.

“Issues such as Sarbanes Oxley compliance requirements and recommendations from the Committee of Chief Risk Officers (CCRO) combined with a movement away from older platforms that no longer meet business requirements has driven a surge in demand for new ETRM systems this year,” reports Dr. GM Vasey, VP Trading & Risk Management and noted analysts in the space for UtiliPoint International, Inc. “This trend will continue strongly through next year.”

“Over the last several years, MRE has assisted many clients in examining their business needs, suitability of their existing solution as well as in software selection and implementations,” said Mr. Addam Alderete, SVP of Sales for MRE Consulting. “Additionally, many of our consultants have had prior experience of this class of software, with a variety of the products available. We have drawn upon this expertise in preparing the white paper in the belief that it will assist energy firms now facing selection and implementation projects.”

The new white paper, the presentation slides, and an audio of the online seminar are available for download at www.mre-consulting.com.
