Data and Operations

Driving efficiency, reducing risk

Data and Operations professionals are increasingly tasked with reducing operational risk while increasing efficiency. Yet officers and managers are asked to do more with less — such as pursuing new operating and data governance strategies even as resources for traditional cost centers are pared down and regulatory scrutiny is ramped up.

Clean, consistent machine-readable data is imperative for CDOs responsible for stewardship of data across their enterprise. You need to drive value by creating revenue-generating opportunities — and determining how data has been derived gives you transparency on the soundness of your strategies. Bloomberg supports the open-data space, firmly believing in the value of allowing clients to access data in the form they require and understand its composition. Consistent data improves efficiency and open data facilitates that consistency.

Data acquisition and management

Seamless performance is always expected — but never easy with the rapid growth in sources and volumes of data. The quality of metadata varies enormously, yet the desire for fast, accurate, and flawless performance remains constant. Bloomberg delivers access to clean, verified and accurate machine-readable data for hundreds of use cases. Eliminate the data inconsistencies that arise from working with multiple vendors, streamline your workflows and rely on a steady stream of the highest-quality data while lowering your total cost of ownership. Bloomberg works with you to turn data acquisition, distribution, governance and lineage from time-consuming and error-inducing headaches into an effective and efficient operating strategy that can improve your workflow dramatically. The speed and quality of Bloomberg data are unparalleled.

Trade execution and order management

Trade execution mistakes are costly. The processes of trade matching, allocation, clearing and settlement require a steady stream of clean, accurate data. Bloomberg conforms metadata to drive efficiencies through the entire life cycle of the trade and to make trade reconstruction easier. Our order management systems give your front and middle offices more efficient workflows and the tools they need to lower operational risk. Post-trade matching, settlement and reconciliation tools enable better performance, while data aggregation and reporting make performance measurement faster, easier and more accurate.

Regulatory and trade reporting

Regulatory requirements are expanding and changing with ever greater frequency and magnitude. Meanwhile, compliance processes like trade reconstruction can be expensive and time consuming. By ensuring your data is compliance-ready, with the correct operational processes in place, you can ensure your regulatory audits and compliance processes run quickly and smoothly.

Respond to current and emerging regulatory demands with greater ease and efficiency. Identify instruments affected by Dodd-Frank, Basel, Solvency II, FATCA, MiFID II, and others by using regulation-ready data. Report seamlessly using a single reporting solution, and gain control over the overall quality, completeness, and accuracy of your data. Bloomberg supports your compliance efforts by integrating compliance checks throughout the life-cycle of the trade. We give you the tools you need to approach regulatory constraints proactively.
