Bloomberg has recently enabled the Bloomberg terminal to display data coming from outside the Bloomberg system. CodeStreet's Market Data Integrator™ (MDI) is the first commercially available solution to take advantage of this remarkable new capability by providing a simple means for users to publish a wide variety of data for viewing in the Bloomberg terminal.
With Market Data Integrator, firms can now leverage Bloomberg to distribute diverse sources of data - both internally within the firm, and externally to clients. Born out of a strategic partnership with Bloomberg, Market Data Integrator allows firms to slash costs by consolidating around a single desktop application and eliminate costly market data and messaging distribution platforms by leveraging the Bloomberg platform for distribution.
Market Data Integrator also makes it simple to gain access to the broader Bloomberg community by enabling users to publish their own data to anyone with permission to see it within the Bloomberg community of almost 300000 terminals. Instead of traditional distribution mechanisms for communicating with your coworkers, customers and partners such as as custom applications, email, or the web, it's now possible to get data to your clients and employees in real-time via Bloomberg in a particularly simple and low-cost manner.
Consolidating the desktop
In the present market environment, cost-cutting is a priority of every market data professional. MDI allows consolidation of applications on the desktop, so data that previously required an additional application can now be viewed within Bloomberg. A typical use case would be showing broker pages within Bloomberg as opposed to other applications.
Using Bloomberg as a distribution platform
MDI enables sharing internal data such as research, pricing and positions across a desk or with customers. For example, research groups can publish real-time research directly to customers and sales desks and traders have a simple way to update offerings and pricing pages on Bloomberg.
Making your own data available via the Bloomberg API
Using MDI, users can make available their own internal data to be processed via the Bloomberg Server API and Excel Macros just as if the data originated from Bloomberg. With this capability, users can create applications and spreadsheets that source all their data off the Bloomberg API, both pricing data originating from Bloomberg and other internal data such as positions, P&L and analytics.
With a consolidated API, other delivery channels - which cost time and money to maintain - can be eliminated, freeing up valuable time for developers to focus on alpha generating projects.
