D&B Hoovers

Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers

As a Procurement Manager, I rely on D&B Hoovers to find and vet potential suppliers. A great deal of work can be avoided by having good information early in the process.

Pros

  • Show competitors of existing suppliers (competitive sourcing)
  • Avoid too small/over leveraged suppliers
  • Be aware of potential supplier takeovers or other M&A activity

Cons

  • Precision in company name search is a must - perhaps better assistance in the search?
  • Some 3rd party integration would be helpful (companies on Gartner's magic quadrants, as an example)
  • The service saves a great deal of work during RFPs - we can filter out nonqualified suppliers early in the process.
  • We can usually find innovative IT suppliers that may not have the marketing budgets to reach corporations like ours... this leads to new relationships and "better fits."
