Glencore Energy Implements ZEMA's Data Management and Analysis Suite

Richmond, Canada, September 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ZE PowerGroup Inc. ®, the developer of award-winning ZEMA Suite™, announced today that Glencore Energy has selected ZEMA to support their Risk Management and Trading activities. The ZEMA data management and analysis solution will enable Glencore to capture, centralize and validate their market data across numerous asset classes, starting with oil and gas, and potentially adding metals and soft commodity markets. The implementation will benefit a number of Glencore's trading offices, including London, Stamford, Houston, Singapore and Baar.

Glencore Energy in London is part of Glencore group, one of the world's largest supplier of commodities and raw materials with over 2000 employees in over 40 countries. The London team was looking for a solution to automate the centralization of key market data, create composite curves and then integrate those curves with their ETRM platforms. ZEMA was selected after Glencore evaluated several providers and determined that ZEMA was able to fulfill their extensive list of requirements.

Key benefits of the ZEMA implementation include:

Direct data captured from their sources, including real time data

Centralized data storage and extraction tools that support multiple global offices via web based interfaces

Ability to create unlimited complex forward curves

Simplified integration with existing internal systems, BI tools and ETRM platforms

ZEMA's rich data management and analytics functionality empowers Glencore by providing a robust, flexible, and sophisticated environment to manage their data, analytical and end of day processes.
