Klesch & Company Selects Triple Point for Commodity Management
Klesch chooses Triple Point’s real-time
commodity trading, risk management and physical operations software
platform to support rapid expansion
LONDON (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 12, 2008 --
Triple
Point Technology®,
the leading global provider of multi-market commodity and enterprise
risk management software solutions, announced today that Klesch &
Company Limited, a London-based investment firm focusing on control
equity investments across a broad spectrum of industries, has selected
Commodity XL™ to manage its commodity and risk
operations across natural gas, oil and metals.
Founded in 1990, Klesch & Company has made investments valued in excess
of $14 billion across Europe, the United States and Asia, with
acquisitions including businesses from established public companies such
as Alcan, AEGON, Deutsche Telekom and Dynegy. Klesch’s
recent focus is on buying businesses that are largely exposed to the
volatility of the commodity markets, in particular, oil, gas, coal,
electricity, aluminum and other base metals or alternatively making
greenfield investments in commodity projects.
Klesch & Company required better visibility into commodity operations
and a real-time view of position and risk, coupled with improved
business intelligence and reporting for enhanced decision making across
the enterprise.
“In addition to Commodity XL having the
product functionality that could run our business, we wanted a supplier
that we could trust and depend on for a successful long term
relationship,” said Thomas Wilson, head of all
metals trading at Klesch & Company. “In
short order, Triple Point became the clear choice from both a technology
and team standpoint. Commodity XL has the functionality to manage our
trading, risk and physical operations, and the Triple Point team
possesses the knowledge and dedication we require to build a
relationship and grow our business for years to come.”
“Companies who want to succeed in the
volatile global commodities market must have enterprise systems in place
that efficiently and effectively manage information and risk,”
said Michael Schwartz, chief marketing officer, Triple Point Technology. “Commodity
XL is unique because it covers all the key elements of commodity
management: trading, physical operations and risk including governance
and compliance, market, operational and credit. Traders, marketers, risk
managers, credit analysts, compliance officers, schedulers and
accountants all have the real-time information needed to make informed
decisions and improve bottom-line results.”
Commodity XL is the
leading multi-market commodity and enterprise risk management solution
that meets all of the requirements for supply, trading, marketing,
logistics, scheduling, risk management and accounting in today's
volatile and complex environment: multi-commodity management, business
intelligence and analysis tools for proactive decision-making, real-time
integration of physical and financial positions, advanced
service-oriented architecture (SOA) and comprehensive enterprise risk
management covering the four key areas of corporate financial exposure:
operational risk, market/price risk, counterparty credit risk and
corporate governance and regulatory compliance risk.
Klesch & Company has also selected Commodity XL PhysOps ‘Visual
Cockpit’™ to
manage its logistical operations. It is a next-generation software
solution for managing the logistical and financial complexities of
waterborne and overland commodity shipments of bulk and packaged
commodities. PhysOps ‘Visual Cockpit’
