Portal: Mirant

Challenge

Mirant needed a real-time view of the energy commodities trading floor and a tool to assess and monitor future trades. The information had to be organized in a way that would allow executives and managers to determine the risk associated with each trade — providing tremendous value for risk management. The portal had to be linked to ICE and provide real time information about Mirant's exposure to ICE in terms of production and consumption of energy.

Solution

Perficient used TIBCO's PortalBuilder as the platform for the portals. Numerous portlets were developed to present information in real time on the portal. The information comes in from a middleware implementation that Perficient also developed. Every trading transaction and any Independent System Operator (ISO) transaction is processed through the middleware first, and then reported on the portal.

Features

  • Provides real time information such as: trades, ISO exposure, ICE exposure, counterparty credit exposure, production and business analysis

Benefits

  • Ability to halt “over exposed” trades before they are processed
  • Allows correction of high-risk situations before trade process is completed
