Global info via Web service – Yes, please!
D&B is launching its popular global integration tool as an online service. The same information package, but the procedure is simpler. A little faster and a little smarter, but the same access to packaged and verified information.
A common problem in terms of the quality of data that companies maintain involves separate data silos in separate systems, making it difficult to synchronize and update data. Company users cannot overview and see the same information. One way to improve the standard of data is to integrate the data between the systems. A third-party supplier can also be used for complete and updated homogenous reference information. D&B has provided customers with integrated global information in its customers’ own systems to be used for credit risks, sales and purchasing since 2001. Starting April 17, our customers can integrate with us via our Web services.
Technical details:
- Web Services based on SOAP/WSDL, according to Basic Profile
- Information in XML format
- All communication online
- Web Service Toolkit can be downloaded by all integration customers.
Why integration?
You’ve done your homework. You've carried out a data rationalization to clean, refine and update your registers and databases. You’ve been issued a unique id in the form of a DUNS® number and you’ve created a Data Governance Process. You’re organization has been meticulously fine tuned. You have selected risk information in the form of ratings and scores but how do you manage the new flow of customers and suppliers?
Integration gives:
- Credit & market information directly to your system in a way that streamlines your own business process.
- The option to customize what information you receive, to where and how it should be presented.
- The ability to delegate authorization in your organization and ensure that everyone works the same way with the same information.
- A view of all day-to-day corporate information as well as information related to follow ups and reports.
Easy to install and integrate, the Data Integration Toolkit offers unique global data management expertise. Always accurate information in your system, regardless of whether your business partner is in Jönköping or Beijing. The Data Integration Toolkit will not change the way you do business but real-time access to information will give you better decision-making support. Use your own information together with D&B information for maximum utilization of your customer or supplier register.
