- 1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Opportune LLP Named Allegro Development Gold Level Implementation Partner HOUSTON, Texas (February 1, 2012) Opportune is pleased to announce that it has been named an Allegro Gold System Integrator partner. Allegro Development, a leading provider of energy trading and risk management (ETRM) software, invited Opportune to join their partner program in late 2010. Since then, Opportune has established one of the largest Allegro University-certified consulting practices in North America and Europe, meeting Allegros rigorous consultant certification and System Integrator partner requirements. We continually monitor the energy market for emerging trends where we can invest in practice expansion. During late 2010, after considerable due diligence, we purposefully set out to build a leading Allegro implementation practice, alongside our considerable existing ETRM implementation capabilities. Allegro has established itself as a short list player for energy companies considering new or replacement ETRM solutions, significantly leveraging its Microsoft .NET technology architecture to provide extensible and scalable solutions that meet the needs of the market, commented Don Jefferis, partner in Opportunes Process and Technology practice. In 2011, Opportune provided Allegro consulting services to eight clients across North America and Europe. Opportune brings not only the strong technical skills of its Allegro-certified teams, but just as importantly, its broader management and process consulting capabilities, and a deep understanding of the subtleties and nuances of the physical energy markets. Allegro is pleased that Opportune has achieved status as a Gold System Integrator partner. The investment Opportune is making in Allegros partner program will continue to provide our joint customers with the high quality implementation expertise that they need for a rapid and successful deployment of the Allegro platform, said Michael Hinton, Allegros Chief Customer Officer.
