Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Use to assess payment issues, collections, bankruptcies, etc. as a means of determining overall creditworthiness of customers. Also review UCC filings and incorporation dates, SBFE, delinquency score, PAYDEX score, etc. Info on the report can help determine if the company being reviewed is legitimate or if a fraudulent credit app has been submitted.

Pros and Cons

Identification of payment issues
UCC filings

Not as robust of information for Canadian entities

Finance Analytics Performance

I'm not in that area to be able to comment.

Implementation and Deployment

Not involved with implementation.

Support Rating

I had an issue with my user profile not applying report preferences, and support indicated it was a system glitch that needed correction via a software patch internally at D&B. I had to wait a few months for the patch to go through and fix my issue. I had to have colleagues pull D&B reports in the interim. It seems kind of ridiculous that a software glitch that prevents the reports from generating (report generation being the sole use I have of D&B) took a few months for D&B to update. Support indicated they knew what to fix but that D&B IT would not implement the patch until a scheduled update two months later.
