Dun & Bradstreet – Leading data and analytics for a Digital Insurance Industry

Dun & Bradstreet taps into this challenge by offering comprehensive business data and analytical insights through its Data Cloud, comprising more than 460 million company records. This provides data that give a single, 360 view of a business entity – which can be fed into existing workflow systems via API integration Dun & Bradstreet works with 1,300 insurers globally, helping them to master their data and analytics to power innovation, improve customer experience, reduce cost, and mitigate risk.

The company takes a multi-faceted approach to creating, curating, and maintaining the Data Cloud. Not only does it source from tens of thousands of public sources, but it also has proprietary data that are only available through Dun & Bradstreet.
How does it work?
To meet the need of data-driven insurers and brokers, Dun & Bradstreet delivers data in packages called Data Blocks.

Insurers simply “stack” Data Blocks together to customize the data and insights they require.
Data Blocks are delivered within the systems and tools that insurers use today through D&B Direct, Dun & Bradstreet’s modern, scalable API. Whether it’s for quoting, underwriting, portfolio assessment, or analysis, Data Blocks provide the flexibility to deliver the exact data topics and levels insurers need when it is needed in their workflows.
With Data Blocks, insurance providers can experience data quality delivered consistently. In addition, Data Blocks quicken the time from delivery to value realization through simple, standard implementation and activation.
