E/CTRM Integration Services

E/CTRM integration and desktop interoperability for commodities trading


Energy and commodities trading runs on a maze of systems: Energy and Commodity Trading and Risk Management (E/CTRM) platforms, pricing tools, market data feeds, risk engines, execution and logistics solutions. Each system is optimized on its own, yet none are connected. The result is that traders must constantly context switch between desktop screens, manually transferring data and making decisions with incomplete information.

DXC Technology and interop.io have joined forces to offer a different path. Many energy and commodities firms are held back by legacy platforms that can't keep pace with the speed, data complexity and product diversity of modern trading. For most, the answer has been a costly, disruptive system replacement, with wholesale transformation programs taking 18 to 24 months to show value. DXC and interop.io connect the enterprise, web and desktop systems firms already have, improve how their teams work and build a practical foundation for AI adoption, without ripping out existing infrastructure. 

The E/CTRM integration problem



Desktop interoperability, without replacement

DXC and interop.io connect desktop, web and legacy applications, including E/CTRM systems, market data tools, risk platforms and enterprise systems, into a single coherent workspace.
Firms introduce new capabilities incrementally and retire legacy components only when it makes business sense.


Connect trading, risk, operations and logistics systems into coherent end-to-end processes

Eliminate manual re-keying and copy-paste tasks through shared context and synchronized applications

Deliver personalized workspaces for each role, from traders and analysts to risk, scheduling and operations teams

Enable real-time alerts and actionable triggers that respond to business events, thresholds and disruptions

Lay the groundwork for next-generation workflows, including automation and real-time triggers throughout the trading lifecycle



How DXC and interop.io enable E/CTRM modernization

Modernize incrementally

Firms don't need an 18 to 24 month transformation program to see value. New capabilities can be layered onto the existing stack, with legacy components retired on a timeline the business controls.

Build toward AI

A connected desktop is also an AI-ready one. Once systems share context, agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-enabled automation can be layered on top, guided by DXC's E/CTRM expertise to ensure the integration holds up in production.




What you gain

  • Energy and commodity traders see live positions, market data and risk limits in a single connected view.
  • Pricing data flows automatically from terminals into execution and risk systems.
  • Escalation workflows trigger automatically when margin limits or compliance flags are breached.
  • Schedulers and operations teams share context with trading desks in real time.
  • Credit risk teams monitor live exposure across multiple systems simultaneously.
  • Sales and structuring teams access client data and trade history without switching applications.

Frequently asked questions


CTRM (Commodity Trading and Risk Management) system integration connects E/CTRM platforms with pricing tools, market data feeds, risk systems, logistics applications, and other business solutions to create a seamless flow of information across the trading lifecycle. Rather than relying on manual data entry and disconnected systems, integration enables traders, risk managers, and operations teams to access consistent, real-time information from a single connected environment.

By integrating E/CTRM systems, energy and commodity trading organizations can reduce operational risk, eliminate duplicate data entry, improve trade visibility, accelerate decision-making, and streamline front-, middle-, and back-office processes. The result is greater efficiency, better risk management, enhanced compliance, and a more agile trading operation that can respond quickly to changing market conditions.

DXC Technology and interop.io have partnered to bring desktop interoperability to energy and commodities trading, connecting the systems firms already have rather than replacing them. interop.io's desktop interoperability platform unifies desktop, web and legacy applications into a single connected workspace, and DXC provides the implementation expertise to deploy it across large, complex technology estates.

The partnership targets a specific pain point in commodities trading: E/CTRM platforms, pricing tools, market data feeds, risk engines and logistics systems that all work well individually but don't talk to each other. Firms get a unified trading environment without a multi-year system replacement program.

The partnership eliminates manual re-keying and copy-paste tasks by synchronizing context across applications automatically. When a trader selects a position or instrument in one system, related applications update in real time, rather than requiring the trader to search for and re-enter the same information elsewhere.

This extends across the trading lifecycle. Pricing data flows automatically from terminals into execution and risk systems, escalation workflows trigger when margin limits or compliance flags are breached, and schedulers, operations teams and trading desks share live context instead of working from separate, disconnected views.

The partnership is built around role-specific workspaces rather than a single generic interface. Traders and analysts get a live, connected view of positions, market data and risk limits. Risk and credit teams get real-time visibility into exposure and PFEs across multiple systems without re-keying data. Schedulers and operations teams share context with trading desks as events happen, and sales and structuring teams can pull up client data and trade history without switching applications.

Because each workspace is tailored to the role, teams see only the information relevant to their job, which reduces noise and speeds up decisions across the trading floor.

Connecting fragmented systems creates the shared context that AI needs to operate effectively. Once trading, risk and operations systems share live data through interop.io, agentic AI and MCP-enabled automation can be layered onto the existing stack rather than built from scratch on top of disconnected systems.

DXC's E/CTRM expertise guides this layer of the integration, so automation and AI-driven triggers are introduced in a way that holds up in a live trading environment rather than as a standalone experiment disconnected from day-to-day operations.
