London, 17 August 2004 - OneSource Information Services Limited, a global provider of business information solutions, today announced the availability of a Professional and Financial Services edition of its subscription-based business information product, Business BrowserSM. The enhanced service includes information from Experian® on over 1.6 million directors and all major shareholders at 400,000 UK public and private organisations and details of any mortgages, charges or County Court Judgments. The new edition of the Business Browser product will also include electronic images of annual reports and returns filed at Companies House.

The new edition of the Business Browser product line is intended for companies in the legal, financial, banking, audit, accountancy, consulting and insurance sectors. With it, they will be able to increase the depth of their knowledge on clients, prospects, suppliers and partners to improve sales and marketing effectiveness as well as reduce business risk.

“To quickly identify risk, businesses in these key sectors must not only collect a wide range of data, but also evaluate it thoroughly and thoughtfully,” said Paul Brown, Vice President of Sales at OneSource Information Services Limited. “The more they understand about a company’s financial and business background, including its directors and shareholders, the easier it is to build up an accurate profile, eliminate risky business and drive sales.”

The Business Browser Professional and Financial Services edition enables companies to build a complete career history of directors and shareholders in UK companies including a list of any additional directorships or shareholdings, current and previous management of a company, and the demographic information of personal address, date of birth and nationality.

Additional historical details of satisfied/unsatisfied mortgages for companies as well as county court judgements for companies and individual directors and shareholders, enable companies to quickly assess the credit worthiness of a prospective customer or supplier.

“Combining our company and industry data with Experian’s profiles creates a truly powerful tool that enables companies to quickly build a rounded risk profile of their prospective customers or suppliers,” said Paul Brown.

Jo Howard, Marketing Director of Experian’s Business Information division says: “We are pleased that OneSource has chosen to work with Experian to enhance the value of its Business Browser product line. The accuracy and quality of our business information, including in-depth director and shareholder data and details of mortgages, charges and County Court Judgments, will enable OneSource to help its customers further,” said, Jo Howard, Marketing Director of Experian’s Business Information division.

The Business Browser Professional and Financial Services edition is available now as a Web-based subscription service. It incorporates director and shareholder content, electronic images of the annual reports and returns of more than 2 million UK companies filed at Companies House as well as mortgages, charges and County Court Judgment data. The edition also includes the standard Business Browser data – company profiles, financial data, executive biographies, research reports and news. OneSource customers can integrate data from the Professional and Financial Services edition directly into their internal customer management systems using the OneSource® AppLinkSM Software Development Kit, available for an additional fee.

Director and shareholder data, provided by Experian, will also be made available in the Business Browser Technology Edition and the OneSource Anti-Money Laundering SynergySM Solution.
