Technical details

Clean and high-quality data for higher sales performance

With the D&B integration, you have clean, up-to-date, high-quality data for your accounts and contacts in your system in real time. This is especially important since it is estimated (source: Salesforce) that 91% of the data in a CRM system is incomplete and 70% of the data becomes outdated within a year.

  • All Data Blocks available
    All D&B data blocks are available for integration into your system. You can get an overview of all available data on the Data Marketplace.
  • Monitoring
    Once you have linked a company to D&B’s DUNS in the Marini Integration Platform, you can add it to the monitoring. This means that as soon as an update of the data takes place in the D&B Data Cloud, the update is pushed directly to the Marini Integration Platform and is available to you there.
  • Type-Ahead Search
    Type and get the most relevant matches displayed on-the-fly. The fastest way to identify and create a new business partner with the correct master data.
  • Criteria Search
    Looking for new customers? Select the most relevant companies according to your own search criteria such as industry, size, address, radius and much more and use them for your campaigns.
  • Identity Resolution
    You don’t know the exact name, but you know more details? Statistical matching suggests the most likely companies based on your information. You decide and get the right data synchronized directly into your system. How this works exactly, you can find out here.
  • Master Data
    Validate and standardize the master data of your accounts. All company data is always up to date – such as managing director or address data.
  • Risk and Compliance Data
    With this external data, you can address requirements such as KYC, AML, and ESG. Through effective risk management and credit management, you know exactly who you are dealing with and you can avoid unpredictable business risks.
  • Financial Data
    You get all the information about the financial assessment of the company – such as ratings, scores or business reports.
  • Company Structure Data
    You can enrich your account with all data related to the company structure. What are the company linkages (franchises, subsidiaries, etc.) and ownership structures?
  • Payment Insights
    It is often important to be able to assess the payment power and liquidity of a company, especially in pre-sales phases. D&B provides numerous insights, including its own Payment Index.
  • Fast reaction and sales success
    Thanks to the integration and the additional information available, you can respond quickly and specifically to inquiries and customer reactions. This increases your sales success.

High-quality and clean data in SAP S/4HANA and Microsoft Dynamics for more effective and efficient processes as well as lower costs

A real challenge in sales is keeping data up-to-date and, in particular, achieving high data quality. Companies that succeed in this achieve on average 30% higher sales.

Sales usually works with two systems, a CRM system and an ERP system. In this example, the ERP system SAP S/4HANA and the CRM modules of Microsoft Dynamics are connected. As far as the systems are not integrated, the potential of clean data is lost and the costs for the manual effort due to the doubled system maintenance increase significantly. The problem can be solved effortlessly, securely and quickly using the Marini Integration Platform. The HubEngine and the DataEngine are used for this purpose.

Easily comply with anti-money laundering regulations by integrating your SAP ERP S/4HANA with Dun & Bradstreet data via the Marini Integration Platform

Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Services can be seamlessly transferred to all relevant systems via the Marini Integration Platform – used as an ETL instance. A widespread use case arises from legal requirements for the prevention of money laundering. Companies are prohibited from having business relations with certain persons (e.g. criminals, terrorists, etc.) (blacklist).

Data on companies can be obtained over the Marini Integration Platform from Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Cloud and synchronized to the ERP system before a business relationship is established. For example, the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) can be queried for companies – including the chain of UBOs in corporate networks. This way, you can make sure you’re in compliance with the law on AML.

Other compliance cases such as KYC or ESG can also be easily covered using Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Services together with the Marini Integration Platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can find a list of all available Data Blocks on the Data Marketplace. You can also use the Advanced SAP-D&B Integration for your SAP systems. If you are unsure which data is right for you, please contact our sales department. We are happy to help you.

In this case, you need all components of the Marini Integration Platform. The DataEngine is used to retrieve the data via the Data Marketplace from D&B. There you can either view your data directly in the DataEngine (as a centralized platform) or synchronize it into your target system by the HubEngine (distributed platform).

We use the native integration of Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Cloud with the DataEngine. From there, you can synchronize the data to your target systems by the HubEngine. Using the HubEngine, you can connect to any other system.

Just contact our sales team. You can access the form here. Our sales team will clarify the exact requirements with you, answer all important technical questions and advise you on which Professional Service is most suitable for you. For example, a planning project would make sense if you are not yet able to define the exact requirements. If you want to be consulted holistically over a longer period of time, a consulting contract seems to make the most sense. However, single individual implementation projects are also possible.

The price of your integration solution depends on several factors. On the one hand, it depends on the components booked, and on the use of the platform. We transparently price the use of the platform. You only pay as much as you use (i.e. synchronize or store). You can get a quote for your integration from our sales department. Just ask for it. However, please keep in mind that without the exact specific technical requirements, no quote can be provided. Then our sales department can only give you a non-binding estimate based on our experience.
