Zürich, 21 January 2022 – Chris Sass and Martin Hiller are joined by Michael Haischer, Managing Director, and Roman Masannek, Head of Sales at PSI Energy Markets, to discuss the wide range of challenges facing the energy sector today and how these challenges can be mastered with optimal software solutions.
In this episode, the conversation focuses on the growing complexity of energy markets, driven by volatility, regulatory change, decentralisation, and the ongoing energy transition. The speakers explore how trading organisations must adapt their systems and processes to remain competitive, resilient, and compliant in an increasingly dynamic environment.
Michael Haischer and Roman Masannek share insights from PSI Energy Markets’ long-standing experience supporting energy companies across Europe. The discussion highlights how integrated software solutions can help organisations manage trading activities more efficiently, improve risk transparency, and optimise assets across diverse portfolios. Particular attention is given to the importance of scalability and flexibility, as energy companies face evolving business models and new market requirements.
The episode also examines how technology plays a critical role across the entire lifecycle of energy trading operations, from front-office decision-making to middle- and back-office processes. As transaction volumes grow and operational expectations increase, robust ETRM and asset optimisation solutions are becoming essential tools for navigating market uncertainty.
