The foundation

Every trading platform starts as a product. In production, it becomes a living system.

Over time, custom workflows, market-data logic, interfaces, controls, and operating knowledge turn the foundation into something unique to the business. That is where value is made, where risk appears, and where we work deepest.

The hard-won realities of ETRM delivery

Where the living system gets tested.

A trading platform is not judged by the implementation. It is judged when the platform is replaced, when the version moves, when the business changes, and when the day has to close with numbers the business can trust.

01

A migration redraws the operating model.

Moving platforms (or standing one up new) is not a data-transfer exercise. Deal modelling, nominations, scheduling, valuation, risk, settlement, and front-to-back reporting all have to be re-expressed in a system that thinks differently. The technical lift is the easy half. We architect the operational redesign so the business scales on the other side.

02

An upgrade is not the install. It is the proof.

Standing up a new version is the visible part. The real programme is proving that years of custom code, interfaces, reports, batches, valuations, and settlements still hold across real business cycles: impact analysis, regression, adoption, cutover.

03

BAU is where the platform stays fit.

Trading businesses do not wait for clean roadmaps. New products, books, curves, reports, controls, and settlement rules keep arriving into a live custom estate. The skill is landing change without making the platform more fragile than it was yesterday.

04

Confidence is earned at the close.

The trading day has to converge: market data, trades, curves, valuation, P&L, exposure, settlement, and reporting all line up before the business can rely on the numbers. We engineer for availability, not just ticket resolution, turning recurring failures into automation and durable fixes so the estate gets quieter over time.

Who we are, and how we work

Senior people, and a way of working that puts your team in control.

Skedara exists to put some of the field's most capable engineers on the systems energy and commodity trading depends on. Not generalists who learned ETRM for one project, but practitioners who have spent their careers inside these platforms.

Senior architects and engineers with a decade or more on this technology, who have carried implementations, upgrades, migrations, and live production across many of the most demanding trading environments in the industry. Depth a business cannot hire one role at a time.

Talent drawn from the deepest specialists in the field
How that seniority shows up in the work

One team, yours and ours.

Your people know your business; we bring depth on the platform. We work inside your governance and toolchain, alongside the people who know the history, not around them.

We bring patterns from across the industry.

Having run many of the hardest trading environments, we bring proven approaches and best practice to your attention early, so you benefit from problems already solved elsewhere.

We own the outcome.

Accountable for the result (the migration, the close, the system in production), not for hours booked. We surface risk openly and stand behind the work.

We build capability that stays.

The aim is an estate your team can run with confidence. We separate what we engineer from what your people own, and hand over knowledge as we go, so the depth stays with you.

Platforms we work in

ETRM is where we go deepest.

We are a specialist firm built around energy and commodity trading technology, and ETRM is its core. That focus lets us work these platforms at a depth that comes only from running them for a living, deepest of all on Endur, and extending across the systems the trade runs on.

Endur

Proven depth

Years inside heavily customised production estates, across the full trade lifecycle. The platform we build, integrate, upgrade, and run in live conditions, alongside your team.

The trade, and our track across it

The whole trade lifecycle, and where we have actually worked.

Energy and commodity trading runs as one continuous lifecycle, with capability layers beneath every stage. This is the surface, and honestly marked, where we hold proven delivery versus where we bring expertise.
