Consulting & Customisation

Not hit and run. Hit and fit.

Our people come from energy trading. They know what a desk needs because they sit with one every day, and what drives them is a clean fit into the systems you already run. That makes them a bit nerdy. It also means they take your problem personally instead of passing it to a queue.

Three ways in

Take it, fit it, or bring us in.

Most desks start on one of these and end up using all three. You do not have to decide up front, and you are not locked into the way you started.

Take the product.

Standard modules on a standard licence. You trade on it, we keep it running.

  • The fastest way into production
  • No project needed to get started
  • Modules you switch on as you need them

Have it fitted.

Licences, products and hardware follow what your desk actually needs — and follow it again when the need changes.

  • Licences and products adjusted on demand
  • Hardware resources adjusted whenever requirements change
  • Requirements adapted at short notice

Bring us in.

Our consultants work on your project: scoping, implementation, and every part that touches the systems you already run.

  • Immediate project launch
  • People who sit with trading desks every day
  • Implementation into your existing systems
How we work

We set the process up with you.

We do not believe in hit and run. We believe in hit and fit. Together with you we set up a process with a target, and we stay on it after go-live.

Our consultants sit with trading desks every day. What we build is shaped by what desks need — network, knowledge, experience, speed.

  • Immediate project launch
  • Requirements adapted at short notice
  • Licences and products adjusted on demand
  • Hardware resources adjusted whenever requirements change
  • No components to integrate or support in your own IT
  • Monitoring, backups and availability reporting on every component
Operated, if you want it

You do not have to run any of it.

The components can stay with us. Nothing to integrate into your own IT, nothing for your infrastructure team to carry, and no second on-call rota.

Monitoring.

Every component we operate is watched, and we act on it before you have to ask.

Backups.

Taken and tested on the components we run, so a restore is a procedure rather than a project.

Availability reporting.

You get the numbers for what we operate, on every component, without asking for them.

Who you work with

People at the desk, not from a playbook.

Fifty-plus colleagues in six cities — Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Vienna, Bratislava and London. The people who scope your project are the people who build the software, and they are reachable after go-live.

You get a person, not a proposal deck. Tell us what your desk needs and what it has to fit into. We answer with what it takes.
  • Independent — no parent company setting priorities, no investor timeline dictating the roadmap
  • Consultants who sit with trading desks every day
  • ISO 27001 certified
  • Software, adaptation and operation from one house

Tell us what your desk needs and what it has to fit into. The first conversation is with someone who has done the work, not with a queue.
