European Market Size for ETRM Software Established by UtiliPoint International

Albuquerque, New Mexico-October 9, 2007-UtiliPoint® International, Inc. (UtiliPoint) has released a new report that establishes a reliable, independent and conservative size for European software markets for Energy Trading, Transaction and Risk Management (ETRM) software. The study uses the UtiliPoint Market Sizing methodology and utilizes both top-down and bottom-up analysis to establish a range of vales for market size. A similar report was released in 2006 establishing the size of the North American ETRM Market and both reports may be found at the UtiliPoint website.

"The total size of this important software market is an important piece of data used by investors, software firms and others to support important business decisions and capital commitments. With this report, UtiliPoint hopes to provide a reasonable, independent and conservative assessment of ETRM license market size for Europe," said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, UtiliPoint's Vice President, Europe.

The study establishes the market size in U.S. Dollar terms as well as identifying the estimated number of software licensing deals in both the virgin and replacement software markets by type of end user for 2007 with projections of growth rates for 2008.

The study is the latest in a series of proprietary studies and reports undertaken by UtiliPoint Europe.
