S3 Partners has released a significant upgrade to its BLACK APP on the Bloomberg App Portal.

The BLACK APP 2.0 provides the buy-side and sell-side with powerful real-time short interest, authoritative securities finance rates and unmatched search capabilities into the traditionally opaque securities lending market.
 
Mike King, Global Business Manager for the Bloomberg App Portal, says: "Bloomberg continues to invest in the App Portal because by fostering a diverse ecosystem of contributed applications we can deliver more value and choice to Terminal subscribers. The BLACK APP from S3 epitomises what we're trying to do by incorporating applications into the Bloomberg Terminal that complement existing functionality. Furthermore, the success of the BLACK APP demonstrates the desire for a more integrated desktop experience."
