For decades, ION Commodities’ Openlink C/ETRM platform has been the backbone of energy trading and risk management. However, today’s markets, shaped by the energy transition, carbon complexity, and increasing volatility, demand more than trade capture and reporting. The organizations gaining a competitive edge are the ones using Openlink to drive decisions, not just record them. 

In this executive briefing, capSpire Principal Consultant Sivaram Mosalakanti – one of the most experienced Openlink specialists in the industry, outlines how energy trading organizations can move from a system of record to a genuine decision platform. 

  • Why the energy transition is forcing a fundamental rethink of how ETRM platforms are configured and used 
  • How to derive the cross-domain intelligence already built into Openlink’s architecture – connecting gas, power, carbon, physical assets, and financial markets 
  • Five practical ways to get more value from your Openlink investment, from decision architecture to AI-enabled analytics 
  • What it looks like in practice when Openlink operates as a decision platform across front, middle, and back office 
  • Trading & Commercial Leaders: Understand how to align Openlink with commercial strategy and portfolio decision making. 
  • Risk & Operations Teams: Discover how integrated workflows unlock faster, better-informed responses to market change. 
  • Technology & Transformation Leaders: Build the data foundation and operating model that makes Openlink a true enterprise asset.
