D&B Acquires Purisma

D&B today announced its acquistion of Purisma to support the company's long-term growth strategy.

D&B has acquired Purisma, Incorporated, a provider of commercial data integration (CDI) software solutions, for $48 million. The acquisition was closed in late October. Purisma provides software capabilities that will enable D&B to further penetrate the fast-growing CDI marketplace. Purisma provides a strong strategic fit with D&B as its data hub and CDI software appliance are built to leverage the D&B database, simplifying the integration of D&B data with customers' internal systems and further embedding D&B solutions behind the customer firewall.
