Finance Analytics Performance

The service is invaluable for my job role. The information provided by D&B when researching companies and business individuals is extremely important as we rely upon this when approving and researching potential new clients. Without D&B we would not have as much financial information which could lead to potential issues or problems in the future.

Implementation and Deployment

The implementation was easy enough, although there were some initial issues with login/account details, which were dealt with speedily. The AML Team rely upon this service also when dealing with new clients as well as information regarding the financial dealings of any potential new client or individual for business purposes.

Support Rating

Any support/issues are dealt with promptly and efficiently. As with any product there can be teething problems when first using the website and products offered but any initial issues were dealt with efficiently and did not affect business. The problems were mainly due to log-in issues and password but again these were resolved within 24 hours and did not delay the work I had to undertake.
