Director of Operations

As Director of Operations you have broad responsibility for managing the business including operations profit and loss, efficiency, productivity, accountability and regulatory compliance.

Allegro helps you meet performance goals in all these areas and more.

It starts with integration. Allegro integrates all physical and financial information, including data and documentation on product purchases, inventories, production output and allocations, transport, contracts, counterparty credit, portfolio positions, product sales and more.

All information is stored or referenced through a central database — readily accessible to all Allegro application modules because every Allegro solution is built from the ground up on Web services. Only Allegro provides this level of integration and accompanying benefits.

This unique technology combination, plus our best-of-breed energy applications and deployment teams, provide you with dramatic advantages.

Integration. More than 50 Allegro application modules seamlessly integrate in any combination. Web services are native to all these applications, so it’s easy to integrate existing and legacy enterprise resources plus external resources such as live streaming market data, making end-users more effective.
Implementation. Compared with conventional solutions, Allegro’s “mix and match” modular approach plus native Web services dramatically reduce implementation and integration costs.
Return on investment. Allegro’s modular approach delivers earliest ROI by enabling phased deployments. Thus components with the highest value-add — the “low-hanging fruit” — can be in full production while other solution components are being implemented.
Change management. Allegro’s modular approach and native Web services enable teams to more quickly and easily add capabilities, modify the solution, or manage the impact of a merger, acquisition or business reorganization.
Comprehensive views. Users gain access to every transaction, end to end. View every transaction or business process from beginning to end at any level, from individual deal to multiple portfolios.
Decision support. Users gain deeper understanding and explore optimal alternatives by performing analyses and sophisticated simulations, even across multiple commodities and variables. Allegro decision support helps optimize trading, transport, inventories, production and transaction management, and risk management.
Integrated physicals and financials. With a single query, Value at Risk, mark-to-market, positions and other key factors on both sides can be instantly evaluated as a whole. Result: more accurate views of value and risk for a single transaction, a defined subset of trades or an entire portfolio.
Real-time information capture. Users gain easy, widespread use of streaming market data and live feeds from Web-based pricing services and other resources.
Advanced analytics deliver real-time decision support with more accurate forward price curves and optimal combinations of exercise on complex options and other instruments within user-specified constraints. Users can explore sensitivities and, via simulation, discover optimal strategies under various price and event scenarios.
Market optimization. Teams can optimize disposition of positions within physical, policy, credit or capital constraints. Full integration enables this capability by giving users ready access to complete information about product value and location — for example, where a product can be physically transported, its total price, and contributing variables such as transaction price, market price and transport costs.
Dynamic 3D graphics enable an intuitive grasp of minute-by-minute trading activity against positions and potential dispositions within the context of an entire portfolio.
Multi-commodity analysis and execution. Users can analyze, plan and execute trades and hedges even across multiple commodities with unprecedented speed and confidence.
All energy commodities and physical processes are supported, including refined products, oil, gas, NGLs, coal and power. Traders can analyze and integrate impacts of all processes such as blending, re-branding and refining.
Full audit and compliance capabilities. Every user access and action, and every associated document, is tracked and securely recorded. Statutory reporting complies with requirements of applicable jurisdictions.
Real-time, on-line collaboration. Users across the organization can collaborate to ensure informed, coordinated decision making — increasing efficiency across the entire business process while ensuring that decisions are optimized collectively, not just in isolation.
Audit. All transactions, process steps and associated documentation entered into the system automatically become auditable. Any action, document or note can easily be tracked with the transaction, or traced back through it.
Compliance. Allegro solutions helps automate compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, FAS 133 and other regulations in jurisdictions ranging from local to international. Compliance can be tailored to unique business requirements.
Adjustments instantly propagate back through the enterprise as the integrated system readjusts every affected entry, sum, charge, valuation and projection. Netbacks and prior period adjustments are no longer a nightmare.
Reconciliation. Allegro’s integrated environment helps ensure that flows of cash precisely conform with the contractual obligations that accompany physical transactions — so your company doesn’t pay too much or receive too little, and is better able to avoid costly legal conflicts.
Error reduction. Redundant data entry is virtually eliminated, reducing errors. In many cases, invalid entries are automatically prevented at the point of entry. Also, Allegro’s integrated database and automated tracking and audit tools let accounting staff pinpoint and reconcile errors with dramatic speed.
