According to the latest version of the CommodityPoint CTRM Sourcebook, there are more than 40 companies that provide core E/CTRM capabilities – contract management, deal capture, physical/financial deal coverage, position management, physical logistics, risk management analytics, and back office or accounting functionality. Additionally, as noted in the CommodityPoint Ancillary SourceBook, there are dozens of other companies that provide products that support some portion of that CTRM value chain or provide additional capabilities (such as asset optimization, market connectivity, etc.) not found in what is traditionally defined as a full CTRM system. Despite this large number of vendors servicing what is otherwise a relatively small market, these recent entrants have found a willing market.
