D&B Analytics Studio will give clients access to the Data Cloud, which includes access to the entire business universe and rich business insights like financials, payment history, spend activity, and other signals so they can analyze trends, identify predictors, build optimized models, and quickly operationalize them. The availability of alternative data sources will also provide access to information such as technology installs, debtor information, intent data, and commercial property records. With the proliferation of connected devices and more digital transactions, the generation of this “digital exhaust” data can be key to providing insights that traditional data alone cannot.

Dun & Bradstreet has made significant advancements to its data in the last year, continuing to focus on quality, responsible sourcing, and increasing the depth and breadth of data available. In 2019, the firm grew the number of entities in the Data Cloud by over 13 percent, going from over 300M entities at the start of the year to over 355M entities by year end. The increase was due to investments and improvements in how the company both discovers new entities and sources entity information. The addition of digital data sources from the recent acquisition of Orb Intelligence and the sourcing of these new alternative data types are just two examples of how the company is expanding the data it provides to customers in order to be competitive online and offline.

“We built D&B Analytics Studio to help our clients experiment with data and analytics using the most powerful source of commercial data on the planet,” said Daffron. “Adding the additional insights provided by alternative data allows our customers to make more powerful, data-inspired decisions to drive their businesses. We will continue to innovate on the ways we source and deliver our data to enable our clients to remain competitive in an ever-changing digital landscape.”
