Subscriptions to the Bloomberg Professional service skyrocketed in the next decade and the company launched Bloomberg Tradebook and Bloomberg.com.
This past decade saw the development of technological advances in key products and services such as email and instant messaging that have made the Bloomberg Professional service the leading choice of more than 310,000 business and financial professionals globally.
