SAI Global turns to D&B to leverage customer data

The client

SAI Global provides organisations around the world with information services and solutions for managing risk, achieving compliance and driving business improvement. 

The challenge

From cosmetics to cars and aircraft to oil fields, the sheer volume of standards, regulations, directives and legislation to which manufacturers must adhere is truly mindboggling. There are well over one million worldwide engineering standards and specifications. The military has over 800,000. And if you’re designing a new pipeline for the German market or manufacturing a component for a next generation submarine, for example, there are over 79,000 metal grades to take into account.

Compliance with this raft of standards and regulation as set out by publishers, governments and trade bodies - from the British Standards Institute (BSI) in the UK to the International Standards for Business (ISO) - is all part of a day’s work for manufacturers.

For the past six decades, helping firms buy, access and navigate this complex web of global data has been SAI Global’s key area of focus. And it’s why it has remained one of the leaders in its field for so long.
