V.16:14 (667-668): Product Review: GlobalView in the Energy Markets by John Sweeney

GlobalView, In The Energy Markets (GlobalView Software Inc.). Software that displays quotes and standard analytics for both retail and institutional environments. by John Sweeney

Customer service for the energy industry really stands out in EnergyView, one of GlobalView’s spe-cialized trading platforms for energy traders. GlobalView representatives install your software, create your initial screen layouts, and teach you in person how to run the system. By the end of the day, you’re fully operational.

That can include integration with your firm’s information systems — though that’s not a one-day affair. GlobalView Software is the only data integration software provider that assures integration with full-span accounting and business management environments that are increasingly deployed throughout enterprises such as Shell or Amoco.

While it includes the browser interface, GlobalView can put together standard screens and reports customized for nonexperts who need to retrieve standard information on a routine basis. Since GlobalView provides nearly every energy-based information source from Platt’s to obscure faxed price sheets from Indonesia, they can integrate your information with theirs in standard reports. These customized packages build GlobalView into proprietary information systems that you can distribute to any of your locations with Internet access, which is to say, a large portion of the world.
