Our data moves global financial markets – and conversations around that data are central to how markets are shaped. Our Community group builds the infrastructure responsible for delivering real-time communications between the 350k financial professionals on the Bloomberg Terminal. Our email (MSG) and instant message (IB) products deliver billions of messages across millions of chat rooms per day, including stock quotes, trade confirmations, breaking news alerts or help desk inquiries among others, forming one of the largest financial networks in the world and placing our team at the center of our universe!
Our users rely on these products because of their real-time performance, extensive scale, ironclad security, tight integration with financial data and applications on the Bloomberg Terminal.

The group covers two main products, core to Bloomberg:

Instant Bloomberg (IB) is Bloomberg's instant messaging system, used to exchange real-time quotes, trade ideas, news, and other financial information.
Message (MSG) powers collaboration and communication as a long-form communication platform, a real-time price dissemination tool, and a tightly integrated workflow facilitator.

We have a broad user base unlike any other company, including asset managers, brokers, traders, financial analysts, and desks across all asset classes. Looking forward, we strive to connect our users even closer with chatbots and curated communities, cultivate communication and clarity across the markets using NLP to structure content, and continue to expand and streamline workflows with modern features and embedded financial tools.
