To achieve a global quality standard, we process our data according to the DUNSRight™ process. As a result, we collect, process, link and verify data from thousands of sources every day.

Which standards do we aim for?

We define data quality by measuring the following aspects:

On a daily basis, we collect, verify and structure data from over 30,000 sources enriching 400+ million business records with 5 million updates per day.
