OneSource Announces New Product Search and Content Enhancements to Global Business Browser


CONCORD, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- OneSource Information Services, an infoUSA(R) company and a leading provider of business information solutions, announced today significant enhancements to the company's flagship Business Browser solution. Aimed at improving user productivity and value, the new release brings all regional editions of Global Business Browser together into a single unified product. Users who subscribe to more than one regional edition of Global Business Browser (US, UK, Europe or AsiaPacific) can now search across all content in their subscription from a single interface. OneSource also announced two new content partnerships that will deliver 100,000 Chinese company profiles and more than 50,000 Australian and New Zealand company profiles to OneSource subscribers.



Unified Global Business Browser Streamlines Sign-On and Search Process

The new Business Browser release is part of OneSource's ongoing commitment to improving the user experience. With unified Global Business Browser, users who license two or more regional editions now see those regions consolidated into a single Global Business Browser product. With a single sign-on, they can search across all licensed companies and executives from within the find companies and find executives sections of the product. The search capabilities have also been streamlined to increase productivity and flexibility.


To give users a complete view of a company's structure, the Corporate Family Report now displays all companies in a given corporate family tree. Users can link directly to any company in the tree that is included in their subscription.

More Global Coverage with 150,000 New AsiaPacific Companies

In addition to the product interface enhancements, OneSource announced two new content partnerships combining to deliver 150,000 new company profiles from the Asia Pacific Region. The two new providers include:

-- Xinhua Finance, China's premier financial information and media service provider. This partnership extends OneSource's regional coverage with 100,000 new Chinese company profiles.

-- IncNet, Australia and New Zealand's leading big business database. This partnership adds 50,000 company profiles from Australia and New Zealand.

"The changes we've made to Business Browser - delivering all licensed content in a single product, increasing the usability and performance of Find Companies and improving the Corporate Family tree - substantially improves the value subscribers obtain from Global Business Browser," Phil Garlick, president, OneSource Information Services. "In addition, our approach of working with the top local information vendors ensures that our subscribers get the most accurate and up-to-date information from vendors who stake their business on covering their local region. We are pleased to deliver this added global value to our subscribers."
