D&B® Alert: When company research is done, it should stay done.
Thanks to D&B® Business Records Plus databases (e.g., D&B® Business Records Plus (All) (DUNBR)), you can quickly retrieve a company's financial data, credit and financial stress scores, payment information (including trends, analysis by industry, and specific payment events), business ratios, public filings information (including liens, judgments, UCC filings, and lawsuits), details about directors and executives, recent developments, and more.
And thanks to the
D&B® Alert service, you don't have to run this search repeatedly.
Even if you don't use Westlaw frequently, D&B® Alert will make sure you aren't caught unaware by significant company developments. D&B® Alert monitors the status of the Comprehensive Report, Business Information Report, and International Business Information Report on any of 109 million companies and automatically notifies you by e-mail when an update to one of the reports is received by D&B®. That means that you never have to worry you missed the latest news of significant events that affect the company's financial or corporate status, such as the company's
- financial deterioration
- announced mergers and acquisitions
- changes in ownership
- bankruptcy filings
- litigation
In addition, it's easier than ever to set up a D&B Alert entry. Use either of the following methods:
- From a D&B® Business Records Plus search result:
Click create a D&B® Alert in the index document you retrieved for the company. The D&B® Alert: Create Entry page is displayed; the company name, D-U-N-S® number, client ID, and e-mail address are automatically displayed in the appropriate text boxes. Click Save.
- From the Alert Center:
Click Alert Center at the top of any page, then click Create Entry in the D&B® Alert section. The D&B® Alert: Create Entry page is displayed. Just type the company name and the D-U-N-S number in the appropriate text boxes. (Your client ID and your e-mail address likely are automatically displayed in their respective text boxes; if not, type them, too.) Then click Save.
The reports are searched on a daily basis. If and when a report is updated, you receive an e-mail announcement that directs to you to the report on Westlaw. When you access the report, you incur a charge, which is in addition to any charge you may incur for running the D&B Alert entry.
