Barbour ABI teams up with industry leader Experian

Sept. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Called Evolution Knowledge this brand new service leverages Experian’s unique data insight to enhance the quality and depth of information available to Barbour ABI’s customers.

The combination of Barbour ABI company and project leads alongside Experian’s wealth of datasets enables users of this new service to not only view financial and associated data related to a specific company office within Evolution, it also quickly identifies the subsidiaries within a group of companies or below a head office.

A key part of the new service is Barbour ABI’s dynamic activity matrix that breaks down a company or group’s construction activity by both sector and location. The matrix provides an easily re-configurable snapshot of activity within both the current and up to five years historic data. With an easy to use drill-down feature, this new tool is certain to provide an invaluable quick and easy method of profiling competitors, clients and potential customers.

David Andrew, Director at Barbour ABI says of the new release: “The new Evolution Knowledge service perfectly compliments the powerful features that the Barbour ABI Evolution system already offers for finding and tracking sales opportunities in construction. Our larger clients are already starting to see the genuine advantages from using this simple yet powerful new set of features and we are looking forward to the Knowledge service helping build on the Evolution success story we see across so many customers.”

Kirk Fletcher, Managing Director for Experian Business Information commented: “Powered by Experian insight, Evolution Knowledge is a fantastic service.  It was a pleasure to work with Barbour ABI and see how effectively Experian’s wealth of data can be applied to sector specific requirements.”
