CTRM Vendor Perceptions 2018
A ComTechAdvisory Report
Electric Power
More than a third of the respondents didn’t know who the
market leader is for electric power and there was less con-
fidence among the respondents, but among those with
an opinion, ION OpenLink was thought to be the leader
by around 29% of the respondents and Allegro by about
25% (almost identical to 2016 survey results). Other ven-
dors mentioned included OATI, FIS, Contigo, Brady, Am-
phora, Pioneer, Powel and iRisk. (Figure 14).
Natural Gas
More than 37% of the respondents did not know if there is
a market leader for natural gas. Of those that do perceive
there to be a market leader, about 52% named Allegro
and a further 37% identified ION OpenLink. In this cate-
gory, there is more certainty over the 2016 results with
Allegro and ION OpenLink extending their perception of
leadership. Other vendors who were named by a small
number of respondents include ION, FIS, Contigo, Am-
phora and Pioneer (Figure 15).
Crude Oil and Refined Products
Although around a 30% of respondents couldn’t identify a
leader, those that expressed an opinion named ION Open-
Link as the leader (46%). This is a significant change over
the 2016 survey in which the “Don’t Knows” were the vast
majority and no vendor had a significant lead in terms of
leadership perceptions. Allegro and ION TriplePoint were
both mentioned by more than 10% of the respondents.
ION, Amphora, ION Aspect and InaTech also received
mentions.
