The Globanet's Bloomberg Importer is a great product which we have been using for the past year roughly. Bloomberg Importer will take each Bloomberg begin message and end message thread, and convert this information into an email message. The converted email message will contain internet header information via Microsoft Outlook (i.e. X-Header) "x-KVS-MessageType:Bloomberg". The email message will then be placed into a mailbox to be journaled by KVS Enterprise Vault. Without this internet header (i.e. x-header) information your messages will default to message type = Exchange, as we have previously seen for instant messages. Once your message has been tagged with this internet header (i.e. x-header) the KVS Compliance Accelerator application will see this as a message type = Bloomberg. The third party application would be responsible for creating this internet header (i.e. x-header) for each message, and Globanet's Bloomberg Importer does this for you.
One other thing I just wanted to mention regarding Bloomberg data, and that is every message for the most part has the "TO" and "FROM" fields as domain "@bloomberg.net". This could cause some complications when determining internal, external inbound and external outbound messages. You would want to maintain a database/list of your internal employees, and Globanet's Bloomberg Importer application has something called match email address option. This match email address option uses a csv file for converting internal email addresses to another domain name (i.e. @bloomberg.net to @yourcompany.bloomberg.net). You can then add to your registry key "Internal SMTP domains" the @yourcompany.bloomberg.net so you can receive all three message directions. I know this is posted late but I just noticed this forum and hope it maybe helpful for others.
