THE WOODLANDS, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) - Woodlands Solutions, experts in energy trading and risk management solutions, is helping companies with exposure to energy commodities better understand and manage risks associated with their energy commodity positions. Developers of the Phoenix ETRM software application, Woodlands offers free articles, white papers and more through its website at www.woodlandssolutions.com. 

"Our mission at Woodlands Solutions is to provide organizations with exposure to energy commodities a high-quality, yet affordable feature-rich ETRM solution along with superior customer service," says Mike Muse, company president and CEO. "As seasoned industry insiders, we are able to share information related to energy trading and risk management as part of our customer service, although anyone interested can access the articles and white papers, too."

Through its frequently updated blog and email newsletter, Woodlands Solutions delves into topics such as performing a Monte Carlo analysis, addressing Dodd-Frank compliance, and computing EWMA volatility using Excel. Within the blog are various informative series, including one covering volatility for energy prices and one on valuing common energy commodity deal types.

Voted Energy Risk's Best Newcomer in 2012, Phoenix ETRM is a software application helping companies with exposure to energy commodities increase operational efficiency, better manage exposures, and improve operational control. Continuing to improve the application, the company released Phoenix ETRM 6.2 last August and says it is a "stable, low maintenance solution with the advanced features you would expect to find only in high priced ETRM applications."

Muse says he and Chief Technology Officer Stephen Wall founded Woodlands Solutions in 2008 to develop and offer an innovative solution with the functionality of major ETRM vendor systems, but without the high cost. The company succeeded with Phoenix ETRM, currently sold at a fraction of the cost for comparable ETRM applications.
