D&B (NYSE: DNB), the world’s leading source of commercial information and insight on businesses, announced that D&B360 is now available for Oracle CRM On Demand and Oracle’s Siebel CRM. Now, Oracle customers can benefit from D&B’s data on more than 200 million global businesses and 53 million contacts, with information available where they need it – directly within the applications they use every day.

With D&B360’s world-class data management and data enrichment capabilities, sales, sales operations and marketing professionals can increase sales and deepen customer engagement. The solution combines D&B’s business information and corporate hierarchies with social data from popular social platforms. The result is real-time, actionable insight that improves the effectiveness of an organization’s sales and marketing teams.

“From email to Facebook, texting to Twitter, customers and prospects receive more messages from sales and marketing professionals than ever. It’s no longer about sending more messages, it’s about sending the right one,” said Denis Pombriant, managing principal, Beagle Research. “Smart companies are using data to truly understand their target customer in order to engage in a personal manner that catches the attention of prospects, and helps to grow an established relationship with existing customers.”

“Sales and marketing professionals need comprehensive business intelligence in their CRM to acquire new customers and meet their goals,” said Josh Peirez, President, Global Product, Marketing and Innovation at D&B. “Putting the right information, exactly where they need it is D&B’s focus. Customers of any major CRM solution can now quickly find the most promising leads, get to key decision makers and drive growth.”

D&B will continue to enhance the offering with additional features and functionality throughout 2012.
