Dun & Bradstreet is pleased to announce the availability of a new line of
electronic data products that combines world-class D&B data with faceted
search technology developed by Northern Virginia-based i411, Inc.  The new
Electronic Licensing System lets D&B provide data that is pre-packaged with
software developed by i411 for very fast faceted search and retrieval.
Customers receive constantly updated D&B data bundled with i411 software,
hardware and tier-one hosting and maintenance services. End-users get a fast
and intuitive search experience and can purchase Snapshot and Comprehensive
D&B reports for any entity in the database. 

The D&B data is well organized by several independent hierarchical
taxonomies, including by SIC and NAICS codes, geographic locations, number
of employees, and annual revenues.  End users can drill down and switch from
one "view" of the data to another at any point in the search process.  Users
can also conduct full-text queries where the search results are organized
the existing taxonomies in less than 500 milliseconds.
