Subject: Proposal to determine if the installation of Oati Web Trader system at DTE Energy Trading would be a beneficial project.
Introduction.
The Current systems in place at DTE Energy Trading have been in use since the creation of the company. The company has grown and prospered for many years and will continue to do so in the years to come. The result of this growth is that existing systems will continue to increase inefficiencies; more disparate Excel files and more manual work and duplicate data entry. The implementation of Oati web Trader will result in the elimination of the fore mentioned issues.
The OATI webTrader is a flexible and comprehensive web-based trading system.
designed to meet the requirements of the Front, Middle, and Back-Office.
functions, OATI webTrader integrates financial and physical trading with OASIS, tagging, scheduling, and congestion management in a single powerful system. OATI webTrader users no longer need to use several different systems and re-enter the same information several times to capture deals, obtain transmission reservations, create tags, and perform scheduling. All these functions can be performed in OATI webTrader as a group with a single mouse click. All of these features are configurable to meet individual company needs for the deregulated environment.
Our systems have expanded to a multitude of disparate Excel files. It is not so difficult to maintain and administer current operating systems when they are all in the same location and are rarely accessed. Difficulties increase exponentially, when the computers and users expand beyond that easily manageable number. The responsibilities and demands of the networking administrators at Dte Energy Trading continue to multiply as each computer and user is added onto this growing network. With this unforeseen growth come many necessary considerations, such as security, administrative capabilities, and better network compatibility.
