1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Opportune LLP Named Allegro Development Gold Level Implementation Partner
HOUSTON, Texas (February 1, 2012) – Opportune is pleased to announce that it has been named an
Allegro ‘Gold’ System Integrator partner. Allegro Development, a leading provider of energy trading
and risk management (ETRM) software, invited Opportune to join their partner program in late 2010.
Since then, Opportune has established one of the largest Allegro University-certified consulting practices
in North America and Europe, meeting Allegro’s rigorous consultant certification and System Integrator
partner requirements.
“We continually monitor the energy market for emerging trends where we can invest in practice
expansion. During late 2010, after considerable due diligence, we purposefully set out to build a leading
Allegro implementation practice, alongside our considerable existing ETRM implementation capabilities.
Allegro has established itself as a ‘short list’ player for energy companies considering new or
replacement ETRM solutions, significantly leveraging its Microsoft .NET technology architecture to
provide extensible and scalable solutions that meet the needs of the market,” commented Don Jefferis,
partner in Opportune’s Process and Technology practice.
In 2011, Opportune provided Allegro consulting services to eight clients across North America and
Europe. Opportune brings not only the strong technical skills of its Allegro-certified teams, but just as
importantly, its broader management and process consulting capabilities, and a deep understanding of
the subtleties and nuances of the physical energy markets.
“Allegro is pleased that Opportune has achieved status as a ‘Gold’ System Integrator partner. The
investment Opportune is making in Allegro’s partner program will continue to provide our joint
customers with the high quality implementation expertise that they need for a rapid and successful
deployment of the Allegro platform,” said Michael Hinton, Allegro’s Chief Customer Officer.
