“Eka is proud that Commodity Analytics Cloud was voted IT and Software Solution of the Year - Business Intelligence,” said Michael Schwartz, chief marketing officer at Eka.

“Commodity Analytics Cloud offers a level of data integration and analysis far beyond other solutions in the market. Using the power of machine learning and advanced algorithms, Commodity Analytics Cloud analyses data from disparate systems throughout the value chain to provide deeper visibility and insight, enabling our clients to make faster, better, fact-based decisions. Our innovative, app-based platform is easy to use, provides user-defined analytics, and is accessible on any mobile device.”

Commodity Analytics Cloud is an advanced analytics solution that brings commodity-specific analytics to all business users. It quickly processes large volumes of data from different sources – internal systems such as ETRM, CTRM, ERP, CRM, and spreadsheets, plus external sources such as market curves and weather data – providing an end-to-end analysis of the entire enterprise. Commodity Analytics Cloud’s apps span multiple categories including position consolidation, risk, supply chain, P&L evaluation and attribution, procurement, margin analysis, and plan performance.

Commodity Analytics Cloud sales increased over 400 percent in 2016, as commodity market participants turned to advanced analytics to make sense of the volume, variety, and velocity of data generated each day. With the advent of smart machinery, the Internet of Things, and social sharing, companies are overwhelmed by data. Commodity Analytics Cloud’s powerful algorithms analyse all available data to deliver unprecedented business intelligence to commodity market participants.
