It used to be common to have to check with someone in the office to obtain recent stock information before going to visit a client. Now, this information can be obtained from anywhere on our BlackBerry smartphones. – Kunihiro Ishibashi

Business Challenge

The BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® service is a platform which seamlessly integrates near real-time data, news, analytical function and email. Bloomberg was experiencing issues with security and availability of the service overseas for their mobile phones. They required much better mobility to provide their users with detailed, ever-changing financial and economic information.

Solution

As of September 2006, Bloomberg began providing the same information and communication services it previously provided for PC and mobile phone users to the BlackBerry® smartphone, even further improving its customers’ experiences. At the same time, Bloomberg had also begun using the BlackBerry smartphone as its own in-house information tool. The BlackBerry solution is helping the company to increase real-time communications, speed up business and improve the quality of services.
