Richmond, Canada, April 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ZE PowerGroup Inc. (ZE) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a "Cool Vendor" in the Cool Vendors in Energy and Utilities 20101 report by Gartner, Inc. The report describes ZE's software product ZEMA as one of four emerging technologies that are positioned to help the "energy and utility market sector to <leverage> technology to improve operational efficiency while addressing energy sustainability issues."

ZE PowerGroup is the developer of the award-winning ZEMA Suite, a best of breed operational decision support system, designed to help clients manage and integrate key market and internal datasets with their daily downstream business and operational systems. The Suite provides an information backbone that can be accessed by various front, mid and back-office applications.

"We are very happy to be included in the research report. We believe this recognition supports our efforts to set new standards for enterprise data management initiatives and to redefine business processes within the ETRM space," said Dr. Zak El-Ramly, President and CEO of ZE PowerGroup."Although ETRM systems have some capacity around data management, the
requirements to handle the vast amount of raw data and the various formats and sources are generally outside the scope of these systems. This is where ZEMA brings value."

ZEMA is a solution to manage and standardize the massive volume of data that is fed into various ETRM systems. As energy trading operations need to stay focused on their core business function, there can be a challenge in managing the data required to perform these functions. The article articulates this as "many energy trading operations place so much emphasis on an ETRM platform as the core tool that understanding the wider data needs and uses are considered secondary. Data management is at the core of a trading enterprise. Companies that embrace this are in a better position to react quickly to market opportunities and threats."
