Alleviate Challenges & Ensure Timely Financial Insights

End-of-day (EOD) is a process that transitions intraday processes to official processes after the publication of official prices at the close of business hours. It involves calculating simulation results like PnL, MtM, and inventory. EOD processes ensure system readiness for the next trading day and provides crucial financial information for traders, managers, and risk analysts to assess profitability, make informed trading decisions, evaluate traders, and report portfolio risk to stakeholders.

The top stakeholders of the End-of-Day (EOD) process include the front office and middle office, but they can also provide valuable insights to the back office accounting and compliance teams.

Common Challenges in EOD Process

One of the significant challenges in the End-of-Day (EOD) process is the persistent issue of delayed valuations. Delayed valuations usually have the following impacts on the business:

Affect Financial Assessment Timeliness.

Hinder decision-making for risk managers.

Increase operational time duration.

Stages of End-of-Day (EoD) Processes

Shifting right to an Event Driven EoD can be achieved through the following approaches

Vertical (Processes)

By running EOD specifically for trades with available prices, delays can be minimized, ensuring that not everything is delayed.

This allows for a more focused and efficient execution of EOD, considering the specific requirements and characteristics of different commodities and regions.



Horizontal (Domains)

Updating and modernizing the EOD system infrastructure to leverage advanced technologies and capabilities that enhance performance, reliability, and scalability.

Running simulation jobs simultaneously and in parallel, utilizing a grid system and distributing job processing across different engines. This approach ensures efficient utilization of resources, minimizes bottlenecks, and enables effective monitoring of job progress.



Key Metrics to Guide Progress: Transition and Maturity in the Stages of the EOD

By embracing the following approaches and metrics, organizations can effectively transition to an Event Driven End-of-Day (EoD) model :

PnL and exposure reconciliation

Implementing reconciliation processes between Endur Simulation results and the final reporting layer at different levels, such as portfolio or business unit levels, to ensure accuracy and consistency.

End-of-day performance analysis

Conducting regular analysis of EoD performance, comparing baselines with monthly trends, to gain insights into various business circumstances and develop effective strategies for improvement.

Time taken for price availability

Monitoring and tracking the time taken for price availability, aiming to minimize delays and optimize the overall EoD process.

System availability trend

Tracking and analyzing trends in system availability, including SLA misses, system delays, and data quality issues, to identify areas of improvement and maintain a high level of system performance.

This shift brings several benefits, including enhanced efficiency, agility, and overall maturity of the EoD processes. The Event Driven EoD model allows organizations to proactively respond to market events, data availability, and trading activities, resulting in faster and more accurate EoD processes.

Empower your Energy Trading by upgrading to the latest Endur version

Companies perceive an Endur upgrade as a compelling opportunity to consolidate numerous fragmented systems, spreadsheets, and customized solutions into their existing Endur platform. The objective is to minimize the IT footprint and extend the time until the next upgrade requirement. Endur upgrades are particularly relevant in business scenarios such as mergers and acquisitions, market expansions, and the inclusion of new asset classes.

Many companies have contractual obligations to transition to a newer version of Endur once the GA period of their current version has ended. Failure to comply with these contractual terms may result in the imposition of maintenance fees or penalties. The usual tenor is two years maintenance window from OLF.

Adherence to IT governance and cybersecurity best practices compels numerous clients to prioritize the regular upgrading of their mission-critical software, including Endur, to the latest versions. This proactive approach helps mitigate the risk of potential exploits, vulnerabilities, and outdated loopholes, ensuring a robust and secure system environment.

Within commodity markets, significant advancements are observed across various classes, including advanced analytics, rapid time to market, regulatory technologies, increased trading volume, and enhanced integration capabilities. These advancements necessitate that companies stay at the forefront of cutting-edge technology stacks, which are typically delivered through upgraded versions of Endur. By embracing these upgraded versions, clients can leverage the latest features and functionalities, ensuring they remain competitive and aligned with industry trends.

Addressing the need to upgrade these components subsequently triggers a knock-on demand, prompting a demand to upgrade the Endur platform itself in order to leverage the enhanced capabilities of these upgraded components.

While upgrading Endur may initially seem costly, the reality is that older versions of Endur tend to have more issues, resulting in higher costs. The expenses associated with business disruptions caused by an unstable Endur can rapidly escalate. Investing in an Endur upgrade can effectively mitigate these costs and minimize the potential disruptions to the business.

Upon revisiting past events, it becomes apparent how a CVE 10 score vulnerability on Log4J (CVE-2021-44228) can wreak havoc, causing disruptions and necessitating IT teams to seek alternative solutions for critical JAR dependencies in Endur. Such technological risks, coupled with associated business risks like data theft, fraud, and exposure of trading strategies, can be effectively mitigated by opting for an Endur upgrade. By choosing to upgrade, organizations can proactively address these risks and safeguard their systems and sensitive information.

Experience the Enhanced Capabilities of Endur Upgrade
