From Migration Risk to Cloud Confidence

Seamless Cloud Transition Backed by 100% UAT Completion

Performance Challenge

An energy trading company embarked on a strategic cloud migration to enhance the performance and scalability of its ETRM platform. However, the complexity of integrating market exchanges, pricing feeds, and ERP systems posed risks to operational continuity across trading, risk, and settlement workflows. Without a structured testing approach, the potential for disruptions, data mismatches, and business delays was high. Value Creed’s ETRM consultants drove the migration by designing a UAT approach aligned with the company’s operational workflows. By thoroughly validating end-to-end scenarios and ensuring flawless system integration, the firm smoothly transitioned to Azure, boosting reliability and setting the stage for sustained digital growth.
