Case Study: Dun & Bradstreet accelerates compliance checks with Neo4j

Dun & Bradstreet Delivers Complex Company Ownership Checks in Milliseconds vs. Days

Dun & Bradstreet, a global technology and data company, needed a faster way to help customers complete complex ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) compliance checks tied to company ownership and international transparency regulations. Traditional methods were too slow, often taking 10–15 days per query, which delayed sales registrations and put revenue at risk. Dun & Bradstreet chose Neo4j and its graph technology to tackle the challenge.

Neo4j implemented a fully managed Neo4j Aura solution to power D&B’s UBO compliance service, creating a single source of truth for global ownership data and a working API in about three months. The result was a dramatic speedup: tasks that previously took days could now be completed in milliseconds, enabling quicker compliance, faster revenue generation, and double-digit growth in customers and graphs after launch.
