Business Partnerships

D&B's 3rd Party initiatives are an integral element of D&B's strategy: to help businesses everywhere get access to the information they need to make better decisions. D&B supports this commitment by forming partnerships with premier, best-in-class companies.

D&B partnerships typically fall into three categories:

		Supporting underwriters and policy holders with global data
		Delivering D&B information and services through value added applications and portals
		Broker partnerships, electronic licensing partners, Value added reseller partnerships and more

Our partners provide their customers with D&B information, products and services through a variety of value-added applications and portals. Whether it is one of D&B's "off the shelf" products or D&B information being utilized within a distributor’s applications, D&B's data can help each distributor increase their visibility and develop opportunities for growth.

Partners & Resellers

There are many areas in which D&B chooses to form partnerships.

Partnerships may present an opportunity to expand routes to an existing market – for example where D&B wishes to increase market share or supplement its own resources.

Alternatively, a partnership might be a potential route to new market or lead to the creation of a new Value Add service.

D&B’s Partners and re-sellers fall into four main categories:

• List Brokers, Advertising Agencies, Market Research Companies >

  List Brokers, Advertising Agencies, Market Research Companies
  Marketing organisations purchasing marketing lists for their clients are specialists. Their experience and skills benefit both data purchasers and suppliers. For D&B, list brokers are more than just a channel to the wider market - they are also key customers. For 15 years D&B has had a team dedicated to working with brokers – enjoying the same support we give to all of our key customers.

  Electronic Licensing
  D&B has a relatively small number of high value Electronic Licensing partnerships. Typically these will have a requirement for a particular D&B database to incorporate in their own value-added service. Predominantly web based, services include:

  • B2C and B2B web directories that generate their revenues from advertisers
  • Satellite Navigation service providers
  • Data aggregators who combine D&B data with that from news providers,
  • Market research agencies, competitor information etc
  • Specialist analytical or data management companies.
