WESTPORT, Conn. --(Business Wire)-- June 20, 2005 -- Triple Point Commodities XL(TM) to Streamline Noble Group's Trading, Logistics and Risk Management Operations for Multiple Commodities Across All Global Offices

Triple Point Technology, the leading global supplier of cross-industry software platforms for the supply, trading, marketing and movement of commodities, announced today that Noble Group has selected Triple Point Commodities XL(TM) next generation software solution to manage its global physical and financial trading of multiple commodities including petrochemicals, clean oils, coal, coke, metals, ores, coffee, cocoa, sugar, grains, shipping and freight.



Noble Group Limited is a leading global merchandiser of industrial, energy and agricultural raw materials. "We performed a comprehensive search for a single system that could handle multiple commodities across all global markets from both a physical and financial standpoint, and Triple Point was the clear choice," said Paul DeFries, Noble Group's head of risk. "We were particularly impressed with the Triple Point team's knowledge and expertise in these major global commodities markets."

Noble Group is deploying Triple Point Commodities XL for physical and financial trading, settlement, risk management, and commodity movement and logistics. The Triple Point system will replace disparate legacy systems and manual processes with a single, integrated, scalable platform linking Noble Group's numerous international offices. This will enable Noble Group to achieve a single, real-time view of its risk and credit positions across its global operations.


Once operational, Noble Group will have approximately 250 users on the Triple Point system in offices including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Lausanne.

"Triple Point earned this contract due to our proven ability to deploy the only truly global, fully integrated, front to back office, physical and financial software solution for multiple commodities on a single, next-generation platform," said Peter Armstrong, president of Triple Point Technology. "This gives commodity companies a single view of their position, exposure and risk at any time across all commodities, markets and continents--and all desktops--around the world."
