Company profile

Bloomberg

A data company that sells the workflow on top of its data

Bloomberg's core is market data delivered through the Terminal and enterprise feeds. Its investment software (PORT, AIM, EMSX, MARS) sits on that data, so most clients buy it as an extension of the Terminal rather than as a standalone front-to-back platform.
