What is PORT and PORT Enterprise, and where does the Data Validation Services (DVS) team fit in? Bloomberg Portfolio Analytics (PORT) empowers the biggest players in the financial world to manage their portfolios, assess exposures, and make decisions that move the markets. Our flagship product on the Bloomberg Terminal is a mission-critical tool used daily by money managers, mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension funds around the world. PORT Enterprise is a premium feature used by our largest clients with the most complex workflows. It allows them to integrate their own systems with PORT infrastructure, automating overnight processing and report generation. DVS is a ‘white glove’ offering in addition to PORT Enterprise, and this is where our team comes in. As with any complex process, things can go wrong or behave in unexpected ways, and this can significantly impact our clients’ ability to fulfill their reporting requirements. Using integrations and tools built by the DVS team, the client-facing Enterprise Support team can identify and resolve their issues, often before they are even aware of the problem.
