We are excited to announce that Bloomberg was honored with the Inside Market Data and Inside Reference Data Award for Best Overall Data and Service Provider 2020, bringing the firm’s total award count to five.

The Best Overall Data and Service Provider award goes to the firm who won the most Inside Market Data and Inside Reference Data Awards.  These awards recognize industry excellence within the fields of market data, reference data, and enterprise data management and are decided by both firm submission and reader vote.

“The award for Best Overall Data and Service Provider shows that the products and services Bloomberg has built for data and data management are helping our customers through turbulent times,” said Gerard Francis, Global Head of Enterprise Data at Bloomberg. He added, “It is more important than ever to have reliable, resilient and readily available data to support our clients and their needs.”

Bloomberg’s continuous investment in data and services contributes to the firm’s goal of simplifying the complex process of discovering, accessing and integrating data for its clients.

By creating an offering that serves clients in all of their needs from content, quality, access, usability, tools, and services – Bloomberg has addressed clients’ complex needs by providing them with simple solutions.

This year Bloomberg also expanded its offerings available in the cloud in an effort to make data easily available through multiple cloud providers. Additionally, Bloomberg recently announced that it has expanded its Alternative Data offering to include over 60 third party providers.
