Business Intelligence

Organizations want to empower users to make effective, informed decisions based on accurate real time data and analysis.

ContraXcentral™ Business Intelligence provides “Action Ready Analytics” across the value chain. Profit Centers / Functions can identify and define common measurements to track, providing high visibility to organizations. To convert visibility to action and to reduce / eliminate the latency in decisions, the information is closely tied in with relevant actionable processes like business rules, alerts, analysis and workflow processes. Typically, different business rules could be defined based on schedules or exceptional conditions to trigger alerts or workflow processes. Users can then look at the relevant scorecards or drill down to details and perform multi-dimensional analysis or other ‘what if’ scenarios to arrive at the right decision and initiate any change management process

Document Management

Contract Lifecycle involves documentation including contract confirmation, shipping instructions, notice of readiness, bill of lading, quality inspection, invoice and so on. ContraXcentral™ automates generation of contract related documents. Multiple formats of these documents can be configured in ContraXcentral™ to meet the specific requirements of countries, counterparties and products. Also these documents get associated with the contracts, thereby replacing the need for storing physical documents. External documents can also be scanned, stored and linked to specific contracts for future reference.

Security / Audit

ContraXcentral™ trading and risk management will be used by multiple profit centers, locations and product groups. Every user group will have different security requirements. Multiple user groups and roles can be defined in ContraXcentral™ and users assigned to the groups or roles. Specific access rights can be defined for user groups and roles. ContraXcentral™ provides full audit capability by providing audit trail of every action taken on the various transactions.

Workflow

ContraXcentral™ Workflow automates business processes through event and time based messages, enabling users to pro-actively manage risks. Workflow provides the ability to send documents internally or externally using system messaging, emails or fax. Workflow can be used to effectively manage limits like credit utilization, mark-to-market, value-at -risk and so on.
