I have been working in Endur from the past 4 years.
What do you like best?
1) Endur is very vast ETRM/CTRM software which cover the complete life cycle of a deal.
Right from the Deal booking till the invoice generation and accounting. It is a complete
package.
2) It can support two most used object oriented programming language (Java and C#).
The library and coding framework was developed using both of them.
3) It can easily connect with development software like Eclipse and Microsoft visual studio.
4) It can easily interact with the external application e.g Endur explicitly has a ICE Gateway
service which connects with the ICE (Intercontinental Exchange).
5) I like the way Endur has different modules which can interact each other (In Endur language it is called different managers). Below are some of them :-
1) Trading Manager (For Deal Entering/booking Purposes)
ii) Market Manager (For curves and prices)
iii) Credit Manager (For Credit checks )
iv) Settlement Manager (For invoice status and generation)
v) Accounting Manager (For Accounting )
vi) Admin manager (Consists static data )
vii) Service Manager (For End of Day and other workflow execution purposes)
6) Reporting is done very easily using its Report Builder module which can supports different format also (csv,excel,crsytal) etc.
What do you dislike?
1) UI (User Interface) is bit outdated .
2) Some core database tables are huge and if you try to open it via Endur it will hang usually. You
need to connect to the external database application like SQL developer or Toad to view those
tables.
3) It can not support multi-threading and garbage collection(From coding perspective) .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Apart from its outdated user interface and few other things that I have mentioned . It is a very useful tool for Oil and energy industry.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
1) Automation - We are automating the manual processes for our clients with the help of Endur.
e.g Deal booking , settlement , credit check, accounting everything single deal life cycle
process , we are automating them.
2) Report generation - We developed customized reports for our client based on their
requirements with the help of Endur.
