Set Up Dun & Bradstreet in Strategic Sourcing

Set Up Dun & Bradstreet in Strategic Sourcing

Have the following products with Dun & Bradstreet (D&B):
  • Identity Resolution
  • Third-Party Risk Insights - Level 1
The D&B integration with Strategic Sourcing is only authorized for use in the countries listed in Reference: D&B Integration Authorized Countries.
You can enable D&B Identity Resolution and Third-Party Risk Insights to:
  • Validate supplier Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S® Number.
  • Display Supplier Stability Index (SSI) and Supplier Evaluation Risk (SER) Rating in supplier profiles.
Identity Resolution enables your organization to validate supplier provided D-U-N-S and obtain D-U-N-S for suppliers that didn’t provide that information.
The SSI and SER enable your organization to make informed decisions and proactively mitigate risks. The SSI indicates the likelihood of a supplier experiencing financial stress within 90 days. The SER Rating indicates the likelihood of a company ceasing operations or obtaining legal relief from creditors within 12 months.
