Petro-Diamond implements solutions from AES
Japanese petroleum trader Petro-Diamond, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, has implemented Aspect Enterprise Solutions’ (AES) trade and risk management software-as-a-service for its global operations.
“The pattern of our business is evolving with the times and we are forced to do more position taking in combination with hedges to mitigate risk, which exposed the limitations of worksheet-based techniques,” said Tony Nunan, assistant general manager of the risk management office at Mitsubishi Corporation. “As trading volume increases, so too does the clerical workload and any mistake propagates across multiple worksheets. We feel we need an automated solution that lifts this burden, is integrated and gives full transparency across several geographical locations in real-time.”
The solutions will be implemented in Petro-Diamond’s offices in Singapore, Tokyo and London.
