Customer Comments

"APM is aggressive about implementing advanced software technologies. We are always looking for ways to give our traders a competitive edge in developing and executing portfolio strategies for our members and customers. Our successful deployment of Allegro is an example of this strategy. This software enables our traders to immediately capture transactions directly into our risk system. It also creates a more efficient, automated process for managing price indexes and curves. And it improves the timeliness of our transaction reporting."

"This project required us to completely review and, if necessary, reconfigure business processes across Atmos Energy Marketing, promoting consistency across all of our operations. That, in turn, has allowed us to better extract the business benefits of using a fully integrated suite of software components. We are already seeing the benefit of adopting this approach and that includes improvements in first time reporting accuracy, increased efficiency of our operations and an ability to better manage our assets for the benefit of our customers."
