Commodity markets have evolved from the early trading of agricultural products. Commodity markets differs from equities markets in that they include both direct physical products and financial derivatives. The direct physical products may be raw or processed agricultural products, metals or energy that must be moved, inventoried or stored.

While energy may be considered a class of commodities, it represents a unique set of challenges and characteristics and hence is spelled out separately here. Today energy is a more than $6 trillion global, physical business and one of the most capital-intensive in the world. In its various forms, energy is also a commodity consumed by individuals, institutions, commercial and industrial businesses and characterized by highly volatile prices.

Each of these sectors face a set of common business challenges and trends, driven in part by the financial crisis and in part by maturing markets seeking new areas of expansion. At this year's Global Energy and Commodities Summit, SunGard dives into the exciting advances in its brands -- Aligne, Entegrate, Fame Energy, Kiodex, and Consulting Services. This is your opportunity to not only see things that are already making positive impacts on how other energy professionals work, but to preview new or enhanced functionality. 

Participate in SunGard's CDD program to help shape future development on all solutions. Come prepared to provide suggestions, discuss enhancements and new functionality, and interact with other users.

In addition, participate in User Group CIG meetings throughout the conference to gain more depth on functionality or insights into how to use your solutions more effectively -- vital knowhow for taking the next step forward.

All this and more...at the 2010 Global Energy and Commodities Summit in Chicago, Illinois, September 13-16, 2010.
