The acquisition includes Harris products such as award-winning directories, CD-ROM software databases, online information products and a recently announced All Business database. These products strengthen the comprehensive suite of D&B’s Sales and Marketing Solutions. Harris products and solutions will continue to be developed and distributed to all companies targeting U.S. manufacturing and non-manufacturing business customers.
We are excited about the new opportunities that are arising for D&B with the acquisition of Harris InfoSource, said Allan Loren, Dun & Bradstreet Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. This acquisition enables our customers to benefit from the unique products and services currently offered by Harris. This move continues to enhance our current business – a major component of D&B’s Blueprint for Growth strategy.
Harris will continue to be headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio and its management team, which includes Chairman Robert Allen Harris, President Dennis Abrahams and CFO/COO Kevin Herendeen, will continue to lead the company.
We are looking forward to the possibilities this acquisition provides for us to expand and enhance our existing products and services, said Dennis Abrahams, President of Harris InfoSource. For the past thirty years, Harris has been compiling high-quality information and high-value products. We are confident that our new affiliation with D&B and the strength of D&B’s global network will make Harris products more comprehensive and better than ever.
