Case Study: Dun & Bradstreet achieves near-real-time business intelligence delivery and accelerated growth with Axway AMPLIFY API Management

Leveraging APIs to deliver business intelligence data in near-real time and empower enterprises to accelerate growth

Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), a 180+-year‑old provider of business intelligence that maintains data on 367 million companies, faced growing client demand for real‑time insights and tighter regulatory requirements. Their legacy batch-based delivery—monthly FTP transfers that could require customers to download up to 1 TB of data and left records 30–90 days stale—was slow, costly, and hindered product innovation.

D&B built D&B Direct Web Services using Axway AMPLIFY API Management to deliver data-as-a-service via secure, scalable APIs that push incremental updates in near‑real time. The API-first approach improved user experience (auto-populating forms), enabled richer supplier-risk and compliance services, shortened time to market for new offerings, and helped drive significant revenue growth along with higher customer satisfaction and retention.
