But data alone is not enough. Creating growth is dependent on how you use insights and information to deepen and recognize the opportunities hidden in your relationships with your customers, prospects, suppliers and partners. By identifying the most valuable relationships within your data, you’ll be able to model behaviors and predict smarter outcomes that lead to better results. These decisions will ultimately affect the success – or failure – of your business. That’s why we’ve compiled the most comprehensive and accurate repository of business data on the planet – to help supplement your existing information so you have a more informed understanding of who you’re doing business with. Uncovering Truth & Meaning From Data Why Relationship Data? Understanding the way in which two or more entities are connected is the foundation of relationship data and is at the core of what we do. Working closely with you, we deliver insights that emerge when information about two or more entities are brought together along with their business activities, which can then inform an implied business impact or outcome. The more you connect and expose entities across your silos, the greater your visibility into the cross-company interactions with customers and suppliers. Your ability to uncover previously hidden associations inside the data provides a catalyst for business transformation and insights. Exposing relationships across product lines, branches and countries creates opportunities to evaluate sales coverage, modify compensation plans, renegotiate terms and conditions, adjust compliance policies, improve customer experiences, build advanced segmentation categories and uncover hidden supply chain risk. The deeper you go in connecting the associated entities and the information that aligns to their business practices, the richer the insights we deliver. Key Benefits: 360-degree view of every internal and external business touch point Breaks down reliance on data silos Delivers new insight into an entity’s family tree Deeper visibility into your supply chain Identifies the potential for malfeasance, fraud and risk Enables you to develop more accurate business models Bringing Relationship Data to Life A true relationship data platform is created when our proprietary data is combined with your data and integrated into your native workflow systems to optimize the platform for insight discovery.
