Data Base Sources

Corporate Data Systems utilizes a number of lead sources to complete profile information on a company.  Our Tele-research department has raw data on over 20,000,000 Companies.  This raw data comes from:  Dunn & Bradstreet, Gale, Corp Tech, Paramount, AmeriList, and Local Chamber of Commerce Lists.  Once a company is converted into a CDS Profile ( A minimum of 50K on Business Travel per year, Categorized by Volume Levels thru 1 Million Plus per year - See Samples Below), we strive to maintain and update that record on a yearly basis.  We also look for a growth rate of between 12% an 15%.  We have also found that internal data for a company changes 42% yearly.
