Database features.

Comprising over 400 million business records, more than 120 Million hierarchy members, and with 375 million data elements updated per day, our Data Cloud provides unparalleled depth and breadth of business information. It is curated from tens of thousands of global sources – including both online sources and our Worldwide Network of global data partners.

Derived from the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud is our Live Business Identity, which represents all information about any given entity in the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud. Live Business Identity helps ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date view of business entities. The starting point of Live Business Identity is the Dun & Bradstreet D U N S® Number, a proprietary, unique 9-digit identifier for businesses that allows us to track a business and its related data and connections throughout the full lifecycle of that business.

Comprehensive and Continually Updated View of Business Entities

Like personal identities, which are much more than a fingerprint, Live Business Identity is more than the D U N S® Number – it is “the D U N S” PLUS additional valuable elements, starting with the identification of connections between entities, which our Dun & Bradstreet D U N S® Number enables. Live Business Identity also provides many use-case specific data elements about a company including: Device identifiers and IP addresses for targeted digital marketing, industry profiles for intelligent sales prospecting using enriched customer data, extensive payment history for better predictability, supply chain mapping for insights into suppliers’ suppliers and entity ownership insights to know who ultimately benefits from a company’s performance.
