The Bloomberg Terminal is a computer software system from financial data provider Bloomberg LP that enables professionals in the financial services and other industries to access the Bloomberg Professional service , through which users can monitor and analyze real-time financial market data and place transactions on the electronic trading platform.
history
The first version of the terminal was released in December 1981, before the beginning of the PC era. It was developed by businessman Michael Bloomberg . The system also provides news, pricing, and messaging over its proprietary secure network. It is known in the financial world for its black finish that is not optimized for user experience but has become a recognizable feature of the service. The system was sold 325,000 times. Bloomberg Anywhere is advertised as an extension for mobile / internet-enabled devices .
price
The terminal and its service are considered to be the most expensive service in the financial market. The terminal costs $ 24,000 a year or $ 20,000 if two or more terminals are used.
keyboard
In the beginning, the system was designed as a pure terminal, and the hardware has kept this name. The most important part was a specially adapted and hand-assembled keyboard. Over time, the keyboard has become closer to that of PC keyboards. The biggest difference is the colorful buttons with special functions.
Alternatives / competitors
An alternative is Thomson Reuters Eikon, which is advertised as cheaper.
