Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number ®
Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number ® is a process through which we collect, aggregate, edit, and verify data from thousands of sources daily so that our customers can use the information to make profitable decisions for their businesses.
D-U-N-S Number process is used to qualify worldwide companies and it lays at the core of Dun & Bradstreet global database, covering over 400 million companies.
The process works like this:
- Global Data Collection brings together data from a variety of sources worldwide
- We integrate the data into our database through our patented Entity Matching, which produces a single, more accurate picture of each business
- We apply the Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number ® as a unique means of identifying and tracking a business globally through every step in the life and activity of the business
- We use Corporate Linkages to enable our customers to view their total risk or opportunity across related businesses
- Finally, our Predictive Indicators use statistical analysis to rate a business´ past performance and to indicate how likely the business is to perform that same way in the future.
The output of this extensive process? High quality business information embedded in our solutions that customers rely on. Not just to be sure - but to be "D&B SureTM".
