B2B data

B2B data is information about companies, organizations, and professionals.


It includes, but is not limited to, information about individuals’ work experiences and companies’ relevant industry and contact information.

Examples: Firmographic data, technographic data, profiles, contacts

Data standardization

Data standardization is the process of transforming diverse data into a common format.

Standardizing data improves its quality, and makes it easier for data to be retrieved, analyzed, and integrated into other systems.

Examples: Our AI models ensure that English job titles like “CEO” can be analyzed alongside French job titles like “Président-directeur Général”

Data normalization

Data normalization is the process of applying a common scale to numeric data.

Normalized data is essential for statistical analysis.

Examples: Our AI models analyze data to create proprietary scores, like ‘popularity score’, to determine the relative popularity of a particular technology that a company uses on a scale from 0-5.
