Company Information Methodology
Our company information database, more than 90,000 strong and covering private and public, is of the highest quality, with business lists and new business leads derived from press releases, industry trade organizations and magazines, directories, web sites, customers, economic development organizations and competitive intelligence.
Exhaustive measures are taken to ensure that our company information is maintained at the highest quality. Initial interviews to obtain business information are conducted via phone with technology company executives. After company profiles are composed, they are run through hundreds of computer and manual checks to guarantee accuracy of company information and adherence to standards. After their interview, all companies are sent their company profiles for review, and edits are made based on their feedback.
Annually, company profiles are sent to contacts for review of business information or, if necessary, contacts are re-interviewed via phone.
Interim measures are taken to update business information, such as quarterly reviews of all addresses and corresponding phone and fax numbers. Web pages and email addresses are regularly tested. Changes to area codes are made as soon as they become effective to consistently maintain business information accuracy. Press releases are routinely monitored to manage our 350,000+ executive names and titles, as well as to catch product changes, new business leads and merger and acquisition activity.
Where any changes are necessary in company profiles, we respond quickly to customer feedback and take steps to guarantee that the highest quality business information is delivered.
