App developers are in the trenches of rapid change in today’s financial firms. Designing, coding, testing, debugging and program documentation — you’re expected to deliver value by mastering complex functionality and ever-changing data requirements to deliver seamless solutions for your firm’s needs. Bloomberg is positioned to help you create apps that add value from the front office on; we enable you to fuel those apps with reliable Bloomberg data and distribute and manage versioning. We are a technology partner, with 3,500+ technologists working to define, architect, build and deploy solutions that not only make your firm work better, but help you leverage our data, tools, and expertise to deliver for your firm — on time and on budget.
In creating integrated enterprise applications for the front office, developers often struggle with creating and maintaining applications that deliver the data and functionality end users demand. More often than not, projects are delayed when those teams spend more time sourcing data and managing the underlying distribution infrastructure.
We provide a comprehensive solution, allowing you to focus on building powerful applications. You can develop apps that integrate Bloomberg Terminal data, analytics and functionality as part of the user experience. We can help you minimize distribution and support costs by leveraging the Bloomberg App Portal distribution network and improve efficiency by eliminating manual distribution of applications and spreadsheets. In all cases, the App Portal features an entitlement interface to authenticate users with convenient single sign-on.
As you seek to meet the needs of the global financial services community, we’re here to help. Our partner program is designed to help software firms around the world enrich the applications they develop for financial institutions by building upon the unparalleled infrastructure and premium content underpinning Bloomberg data and technology. With dedicated relationship managers, tools and tech support, we make it simple for you to access our data and work with it to your clients’ advantage.
