D&B's global data content and Oracle Financials. The joint offering, D&B for Oracle Applications, seamlessly integrates D&B
business information into Oracle Financials, enabling users to store up-to-date identification, demographic, risk/financial,

is used for both strategic and tactical analyses and decision support.

ongoing decision support.
