Wall Street Journal: Google is said to have invested in a new round of funding for Symphony Communication Services. Google’s support adds a tech-industry stalwart to the list of banks and investment firms — such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock — that have backed Symphony and its fledgling communications software. Symphony was created as an alternative to Bloomberg terminals, which have long been a hallmark of trading floors but are viewed as a major cost center for financial firms.
