Dun & Bradstreet Empowers Salesforce Users with Real-time Data Solution

SHORT HILLS, N.J., Nov. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB) today announced the launch of D&B Optimizer for Salesforce, a solution that natively integrates Dun & Bradstreet data and data services into the Salesforce Platform. The solution provides real-time updates and cleansing capabilities for critical account data in a company's Salesforce instance to enable them to access actionable data to be leveraged in their customer initiatives. Fueled by the Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number® and Dun & Bradstreet's comprehensive commercial database of over 280 million business records from 30,000 sources in 190 countries and updated 5 million times a day, the application is now available through the AppExchange as a Lightning Data solution.   

Salesforce estimates that 91 percent of CRM data is incomplete and 70 percent of that data deteriorates and becomes inaccurate annually. This has a direct impact on an organization's ability to accurately segment markets, prioritize accounts, and align sales and marketing activities. Companies must solve for this data challenge in order to improve the productivity of their sales organization and keep their sales and marketing strategies on track.

"For organizations to grow, they need actionable and complete data across the entire business to ensure that timely and informed decisions are being made," said Derek Slayton, General Manager of the Sales and Marketing Line of Business for Dun & Bradstreet. "D&B Optimizer for Salesforce provides Salesforce customers the ability to get the data they want, when and where they need it, directly within their Salesforce instance. This leads to increased productivity and, ultimately, growth for their businesses."
