Customer data integration service helps companies better organize commercial accounts for improved risk management and profitability

Data SynthesisTM identifies duplicate records, changes in business identification numbers and corporate family relationships, providing a clean master file

Costa Mesa, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 — Experian®, the leading global information services company, today announced the launch of its new customer data integration service aimed at helping risk managers better determine their current credit risk exposure and improve profitability with a more comprehensive view of their commercial accounts. With Experian’s Data SynthesisTM, companies can pinpoint duplicate records in a portfolio or across multiple portfolios and business units; recognize those accounts with address variations or numerous locations; and identify multiple lines of credit being opened by a company of the same corporate family.

“While often overlooked, one of the most critical components of the risk-management process is understanding an account’s credit risk exposure across multiple portfolios or business units,” said Hiq Lee, president of Experian Business Information Services. “To help address this need, we’ve designed Data Synthesis to continually cleanse, standardize, organize and consolidate commercial data, so risk managers can have a complete and accurate view of their customers across different channels and divisions.”

Data Synthesis is powered by Experian’s BizSourceSM database to provide more thorough and accurate business credit information, as well as its proprietary TrueSearchSM technology to identify how businesses are connected to one another, such as parent companies, headquarters or single-location subsidiaries. By utilizing Experian’s Business Identification Number, Data Synthesis enables users to track their customers over time and ensure the consistent and up-to-date insight they need to effectively manage their portfolios. Data Synthesis is especially critical in understanding the effect a merger or an acquisition may have on a credit portfolio. This level of insight helps risk managers understand and segment growth opportunities, as well as increase revenue by leveraging existing customer relationships.
