The highlight of the Summit was OpenLink CEO John O’Malley announcing plans to launch OpenLink in the Cloud. Over the past year, OpenLink has created a Cloud Solutions Group, headed up by Bloomberg’s former Global Head of New Business, Scott Rompala, and conducted 50 in-depth client interviews into demand and market readiness for Cloud services. John O’Malley said: “It is at the core of OpenLink’s mission to continue to find strategic and technological solutions to help optimize our clients’ businesses. Every client we have spoken to over the past year has articulated a major initiative to move at least some portion of their trading environments to the Cloud, and virtually every new business discussion includes a Cloud element. We are working in close collaboration with our clients and will be launching early next year. Clients will be able to do things they never thought possible and derive an even greater competitive advantage from using our solutions. It’s a very exciting time in the development of OpenLink.” “With the backdrop of ever-increasing adoption of Cloud solutions in the wholesale energy and commodities markets, OpenLink has unveiled a well-planned and holistic strategy that offers a clear, near-term path to the Cloud for their existing clients and prospects,” said Patrick Reames, Managing Partner of Commodity Technology Advisory, LLC. “Further, they’ve been able to combine Cloud technologies with their strengths in risk management and analytics to create a unique product offering for the space.” The keynote speaker was Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author of the New York Times bestseller “The Power of Habit” and new book “Smarter Faster Better.” Duhigg spoke on the science of productivity and the power of focus and innovation, driving some big conceptual ideas into eye-opening insights that can be reflected and utilized in our daily routines.
