Data Optimization
Make secure decisions with the most up-to-date and relevant business information thanks to D&B’s Data Optimization. There are two easy steps that will give your business an edge on the competition.
1. We’ll match you with the right D-U-N-S® Number.
There are many levels of DUNS Number matching that can be performed to achieve the highest level of record resolution, prior to appending the D&B Data:
- Entity Machine Matching™ - Electronic file matching
- Manual Matching/Manual Look up Process
- File Resolution
- Filebuild
- Unresolved/Unmatched records
A thorough matching exercise will give the customer the ability to rectify source systems for a consolidated file.
2. We’ll attach all the relevant information you need from our database to your DUNS Number.
After you’ve been matched to the right DUNS Number, any data element in the active D&B database can then be added to the matched file. Variations, interpretations and calculations of the data elements can also be added. For example: dependency ratios, growth rates or productivity ratios.
With D&B Data Optimization, you can:
- Identify which companies have recently merged or taken over a new portfolio of customers
- Consolidate information on organizations with multiple locations and multiple customer/vendor databases
- Identify new opportunities within your existing customer base or prospect universe
- Increase productivity and reduced operating costs
- Improve customer service with quicker, more consistent and more accurate information
