Waters Rankings 2013: Best Sell-Side OMS Provider — Bloomberg

And it’s not hard to see why: Founded in 1981, the New York-based vendor has, thanks to the phenomenal success of its Bloomberg Professional service, become the front-office technology heart of large numbers of sell-side firms, a factor that has significantly influenced the appeal of its Bloomberg Trade Order Management System (TOMS), part of the company’s Bloomberg Trading Solutions unit. 

Bloomberg TOMS, fully integrated with the firm’s aforementioned Bloomberg Professional service, is a global, multi-asset OMS featuring front-to-back inventory, trading and operations support for sell-side firms trading fixed-income products, offering users inventory, pricing, market-making, risk, profit-and-loss (P&L), and straight-through processing functionality.
