What we do

The goal of Bloomberg Connectivity & Integration (BCI) group is to provide a platform for customers to integrate Bloomberg products with their own highly complex and time sensitive software systems. With ever growing demands for more capabilities in data transformation and analytics, we are building our next generation Integration Platform offering through an architecture that uses a combination of open source, third party, and in-house technologies to meet these demands.

Our team owns and develops the critical Transformation Engine that sits at the heart of the Integration Platform product. The Transformation Engine provides customers, as well as Implementation Specialists, with a visual programming language as part of a no-code toolkit to extract, transform, enrich and process data in transit between Bloomberg and third-party systems.

From a technical perspective we regularly work across a breadth of domains:

• Distributed systems
• High availability, fault tolerance and self-healing systems
• Data consistency
• Language compilation
• Service-oriented architecture
• User interface & experience development

Our infrastructure currently exists in two main flavors. We have our existing product which is developed predominantly in C# and deployed to a Windows .NET Framework environment. The user’s transforms are translated into F# and compiled for runtime execution. The other is our next generation architecture which is in active development and in production. This next generation architecture is being developed in .NET Core/Java and targeting Linux servers as a component of our larger Integration Platform.

Current and upcoming projects

• Implementing the next generation of our Transform code-generation, compilation, and execution framework (.NET Core, RxJava, Linux, Docker)
• Improving our no-code toolkit by adding new features designed to improve the Transform building experience for our users; creating the abstractions that can empower the effectiveness of those transformations.
• Building and improving modules for our Integration Platform, including a data storage module (React, gPRC)

How we work
