Examination of North American Market for ETRM Software 

For Immediate Release

Albuquerque, New Mexico-August 26, 2008-UtiliPoint® International (UtiliPoint) today announced the release of the 2008 North American Market for Energy Trading, Transaction and Risk Management (ETRM) Software-Market Analysis and Sizing Report. This UtiliPoint study provides the latest review and analysis of the market for ETRM software in North America and provides a quantitative analysis of the size of that market. Included in this report (a follow-on to UtiliPoint's 2006 North American ETRM Market Sizing and Analysis Report) is an expanded examination of market forces and trends impacting market players and the providers of ETRM solutions and services. This analysis and report is backed by UtiliPoint's proprietary research and models, and provides a five year overview of the market from 2006 through 2010 covering the four primary drivers of revenues-new license sales, incremental license sales (or sales to existing customers), associated support and maintenance, and services associated with implementation of new ETRM systems. Additionally, the report provides a detailed examination of the current market size, as defined by both commodities and industry segments.

"We believe this report is the most comprehensive examination of the North American market for ETRM products available," according to Patrick Reames, UtiliPoint's Vice President of Trading and Risk Management. "The information contained in this report is critical data for investors, software firms, consulting organizations and others to support investment decisions and guide the allocation of resources-both capital and human."
