25 Jun 2012: Bureau van Dijk (BvD) has added a series of enhancements to its Mint company information and business intelligence product range following a major revamp of the product at the end of last year. The new features include the addition of Strategic Searches to help users target companies more creatively and are available now.

BvD has now incorporated searches for more strategic targeting, all with the aim of identifying potential business opportunities. They include options to find companies with consistent growth, by year end and companies who are affected by recent M&A activity. There’s also the option to search for companies who are investment backed, suggesting more aggressive growth targets and budget availability. In addition, BvD has further developed its unique “SegMintation” function where users can create fast segmentation reports on their search results to see how they breakdown by SIC code, region and turnover.

“The response to our new Mint has been extremely positive,” said Tony Pringle, BvD’s UK Managing Director. “The new interface is fast and easy to use and really popular with users. Some of the new enhancements are a result of feedback – we really appreciate our users suggesting what they’d like to see on our products. We’re seeing an increased interest in international data, especially for CRM integration, and we’ve now launched the new Mint interface on the global and European versions of Mint.”

Mint was launched in 2004 and the range includes a dedicated Mint for the UK plus global, European and other regional versions.
