Seamless System Harmonization, Standardized Processes, and Real-Time Risk Visibility

Maximizing M&A Value Through Unified ETRM Integration

Mergers and Acquisitions(M&A) Integration Advisory for ETRM Systems

Growth through mergers and acquisitions is a powerful strategy in energy trading, but achieving true synergy requires more than a signed deal. The real challenge begins with integrating diverse technology platforms, trading processes, and data landscapes into one cohesive ETRM system. Differences in platforms, versions, and operational workflows often create fragmented reporting, compliance gaps, and inefficiencies that slow progress.

From assessing current systems and defining a future-state roadmap to executing ETRM consolidation, our approach delivers seamless integration, operational consistency, and a scalable foundation for future growth.

Challenges in M&A Integration for ETRM Systems

When energy companies merge or acquire new entities, aligning their trading and risk management systems becomes a major operational hurdle. Each organization often runs on different ETRM platforms or versions, creating fragmented processes and limited visibility across trade capture, risk, and settlements.

Value Creed’s Seamless ETRM Integration

To ensure smooth post M&A integration, Value Creed delivers a structured approach that combines advisory expertise with hands-on implementation. This cohesive process harmonizes ETRM systems, workflows, and data, eliminating manual effort and reducing operational risks.

We start with a deep dive into existing RightAngle or other E/CTRM platforms, versions, to understand current gaps and integration needs which aligns with their current business process across both enterprises.

Our team defines a future-state architecture that aligns consolidation, upgrades, or integration strategies with business priorities. This could involve standardizing onto RightAngle, unifying multiple E/CTRM platforms, or upgrading to a common version.

We identify and map essential interfaces across ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday), market data providers (ICE, NYMEX, DTN/ProphetX, Morningstar), regulatory reporting (Form A, Form C, EIA, SOX), risk engines(VaR, credit exposure)  and BI/analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau).

RightAngle and other E/CTRM platforms are consolidated in one system  with minimal disruption, ensuring a consistent trade lifecycle and settlement process across front, middle, and back office operations.

Defining and setting up AD groups based on role-based access control (RBAC).

Trade, risk, and financial data are standardized, cleansed, and aligned with APIs and ERP integrations to ensure seamless connectivity and reporting accuracy.

We unify workflows across the organization to create consistent, scalable trade lifecycle, risk management, and settlement processes.

Leadership gains real-time visibility through dashboards and progress trackers, providing clear insights into milestones, risks, and system readiness.

Workshops align deal lifecycle, settlement, and reporting processes across parent and acquired entities, supported by a structured change management framework covering CoE involvement, approvals, releases, enhancements, upgrades, and user training.

Impact of ETRM Integration on Post-M&A Efficiency

Value Creed’s advisory and implementation services replace fragmented systems and manual processes with a unified, automated ETRM environment. By standardizing workflows, consolidating data, and connecting interfaces, the solution drives faster, more accurate, and scalable operations.

  • Standardized Business Processes: Unified trade lifecycle processes across front, middle, and back office functions ensure consistent management of trades, risk, and settlements.

     

  • Seamless Data & Interface Integration: Alignment of interfaces (ERP, APIs) streamlines enterprise connectivity, minimizing reconciliation efforts and integration failures.

     

  • Future-Ready Architecture: The solution is built to scale effortlessly for future acquisitions, new commodities, or regulatory changes, avoiding recurring challenges. Cloud-based or hybrid deployment models ensure optimal performance, security, and scalability.
  • Leadership Confidence: Real-time, consolidated dashboards provide clear visibility into risk, P&L, and compliance. 

  • Faster M&A Synergies: Integration timelines are shortened from months to weeks.

     

  • Operational Excellence: Automation reduces manual effort by 40–50%.

  • Cost Savings: Redundant licenses, infrastructure, and support contracts are eliminated.

Realizing M&A Value Through Unified ETRM Integration

Mergers and acquisitions offer growth, but true value is achieved only when systems, processes, and data are fully integrated. Fragmented ETRM platforms often lead to errors, delays, and limited visibility.

Value Creed’s solution unifies platforms, standardizes workflows, and aligns interfaces across trading, risk, and finance. Automation ensures accurate data, reduces manual effort, and strengthens compliance. Clear dashboards and scalable processes enable faster integration, operational efficiency, and M&A synergy realization. Businesses gain a cohesive, future-ready system that captures full merger value while maintaining control and agility.
