Due to significant business growth, our team is expanding! In capital markets, buy-side and sell-side professionals strive to achieve automation across multiple asset classes by building strong and secure connections to Bloomberg. Our Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) team is responsible for ensuring the stability and reliability of virtually all Bloomberg products in addition to custom solutions that have been built for our clients.

Financial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, monitor P&L, manage sales and trading, and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves correctly across the enterprise, at higher speeds and lower costs. Building solutions in-house can take a large team and a larger investment. Integrators and consultants may not understand a firm’s business model or data. That’s where we come in.
Within Enterprise Technology, we help firms manage that complexity. Providing common tools, services and expertise, we enable firms to simplify technology relationships. This ultimately drives lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market and improved transparency. With our track record in delivering hosted solutions and our understanding of Capital Markets, we believe we are uniquely positioned to help clients with integration challenges.
