Case Study: Energy Trader achieves real-time analytics and slashes trading-tool development from 180 to 3 days with TIBCO Software

Energy trader sparks change with TIBCO

An energy trading firm struggled to turn large, diverse, and siloed datasets into timely decisions. With roughly 5 terabytes of data across 70 sources and hundreds of thousands of spreadsheet rows, analysts faced slow processing, limited communication and inefficient workflows that hampered trading and operational decision-making.

By partnering with TIBCO and a TIBCO partner to deploy a Spotfire-based crude refinery research dashboard, the company consolidated data into a single, clean, real-time view and integrated analytic tools. The dashboard turned 300K spreadsheet rows into actionable insight, cut trading tool development from 180 to 3 days, broadened global collaboration (from about five to twenty people), and enabled analytics-driven use across trading, projects, credit risk and marketing.
