“We are thrilled to work with Bloomberg to enable access to the industry’s leading real-time market data through Google Cloud’s secure, sustainable, and scalable infrastructure. Together, we are helping to democratize access to datasets that help front- to back-office professionals uncover useful insights they need to optimize investments and improve performance.”

The solution

B-Pipe not only eliminates the burden of having to maintain multiple adaptors for each venue that users require data from, but it also offers analytics to improve workflows. These include time-sliced volume-weighted average price, real-time volatility analysis, services to help set up new securities in real time, liquidity analytics services, and the ability to subscribe to new issues.

Secret sauce

B-Pipe differentiates itself through data quality, reliability, and the fact that it’s a fully managed service. Bloomberg supplements market data with Bloomberg-generated content and analytics. It provides customers with a high degree of technical flexibility by making its tick-for-tick market data and ancillary services accessible from anywhere, including globally through all three major public cloud providers.
