Data rationalisation ensures that all your divisions, departments and functions work from a common base of quality-assured business information.
We have 165 years of experience of gathering and managing information from a great number of sources. This, combined with our unique global business identification concept, D&B’s D-U-N-S® Number, gives us unique expertise; the ability to convert your data into quality-assured, correct information fast.
D&B can help you build an easily accessible, more correct database containing comprehensive information on your business partners. Better information can give you new opportunities to increase sales, reduce risk, make bigger savings and boost profitability.
Data rationalisation (database cleaning)
This service involves you, our customer, sending your customer and supplier information to D&B, which we then match against our reference databases. The matching gives you a D-U-N-S® Number, the key to our global information. In addition to basic data about the business such as the D-U-N-S® Number, corporate identity number, correct legal name and address details, you can then choose to add various information packages to gain further deep knowledge. This may be the number of employees, sales, sector affiliation, group structure, etc.
Database updates
The D-U-N-S® Number you get from the matching makes it easy for you to monitor changes. This allows you to ensure that you always have quality information in your systems.
