Dun & Bradstreet Eyes Blockchain, Machine Learning Projects

Data provider Dun & Bradstreet has been providing information to subscribers and customers for 177 years. Now it is exploring Blockchain and machine learning to improve its offerings. You wouldn't normally think of a 177-year-old company as one that would be on top of digital transformation and emerging data analytics trends. But Dun & Bradstreet has always been a data business, way back in 1841 as the Mercantile Agency, a credit information bureau. Today the new technologies are a little different than they were in the 19th century. But the mission is the same -- to provide data and analytics services for business. As Dun & Bradstreet's Global Leader of Data Innovation, Saleem Khan is helping navigate the company's efforts as it creates new data and analytics services to offer its customers.
