The Problem: The Last Mile Energy companies have invested heavily in ETRM solutions and custom ERP deployments in an attempt to drive efficiency in to a highly margin driven industry. These solutions generally provide excellent functionality within the enterprise but break down as the system is extended beyond the firewall. The volume of transactions can be staggering and the lack of full integration within the trading community and markets leads to inefficiencies, poor visibility and increased risk profile. Each of these issues can erode thin margins and jeopardize the realization of ROI on the entire systems deployment. In short, ETRM systems lack The Last Mile that extends their robust capabilities.www.summatg.com 1

The Solution Energy companies need a central integration hub that connects the ETRM system (or other system of record) to the entire trading network. Robust solutions must include: Must Process Multi • Ability to receive, process and submit data in any Formatted Data format (AS2, EDI, XML, Database, CSV, IDOC) Be Automated • The capability to transform Natural Gas transactions to NAESB format by pipeline and by Is Integrated version Must Be Robust • The functionality to automate the submission of transactions • Integration to various marketplaces such as ERCOT to request and submit data (e.g. historical usage information) • Robust, configurable and traceable enforcement of business rules • Full integration of the entire procurement process to drive operational efficiencies. (Particularly critical for exploration companies who have an endless stream of repair parts orders from a complex set of vendors)www.summatg.com 2

The best solutions provide all of the above functionality on a scalable, configurable and extensible platform that can grow over time. The platform becomes a portal for communication with marketplaces, pipelines or other carriers and the trading partner base. It is truly multi-enterprise and helps ensure the realization of the benefits that the ETRM system promised in the first place. The integration ensures accuracy and transparency of the full range of transaction types, improves reporting capability, improves service levels and provides standardization within the trading community. Ideally, energy companies can outsource the implementation and maintenance of the portal. The primary benefit of outsourcing is shedding the responsibility for trading partner integrations. The trading partner network is dynamic – ever changing – and the need to maintain specific integrations can be burdensome. The best-in-class solution providers have the alternative for a fully outsourced model that, in essence, provides a virtual portal and platform and thus reduces the impact on internal IT departments.www.summatg.com 3
