Data SolutionsThe OneSource Team works with you to help you use and integrate OneSource business information content, plus client proprietary data if required. The resulting increase in functionality adds value to your business processes and applications.

We are engaged to provide resources skilled in mapping solutions to fit client requirements which fall outside of the standard packaged Business Browser products.

Our MethodologyThis involves full project management of the proposed solution from inception to delivery.

OneSource Data Solutions has a range of off-the-shelf and customised offerings which constitute the solution toolkit.

The principal tool is the OneSource ‘Applink’ API which can deliver OneSource content and functional components programmatically and provide integrated business information in the form of HTML reports or XML data feeds.

Custom Portal IntegrationProvides OneSource customers the opportunity to integrate and distribute OneSource dataset and customer-specific dataset to defined user groups, via desktop in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

OneSource Data Solutions has expertise in several portal integration technologies, some of which are described below.

RSS FeedsOneSource provides its content as RSS feeds. RSS is a great supplemental communication method that can be created according to the user’s choices. For example, OneSource RSS feeds add unimaginable power to your users, by allowing them to configure datasets consisting of Company, News, Analyst Reports on their desktop and also set-up alerts.

Wiki-Based Collaborative DocumentsProvides the ability to add OneSource predefined reports and custom reports dynamically to your user group web pages and CRM documents. This means that OneSource data could be added to tools for account and call planning at a click of a button, providing timely information and saving immense cost in creating and maintaining corporate and contact information.

Sharepoint Portal IntegrationOneSource provides its content as SharePoint web parts. The web part can be linked to a predefined set of OneSource datasets or can be custom built, based on your needs.

OpenSearch IntegrationOneSource can expose its rich API interface through OpenSearch specification. This means that searching for a Company, Executive and News etc. can be made available in applications that support OpenSearch technology such as Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.

HTML EmbedsOneSource provides HTML code fragments that provide configurable shortcuts to the OneSource API that can be easily plugged into any HTML page. This saves time by allowing integration directly into OneSource Applink HTML report engine with minimal knowledge about the OneSource API.

Custom Application SolutionProvides the opportunity to address your business objectives and strategies especially when packaged software does not adequately address your requirements. OneSource has proficiency in defining and building independent solutions as well as integrating with 3rd party content and applications.

Custom TearsheetsProvides the ability to deliver a customised set of business information, applicable to your business and job functions. The tearsheet could act as an interactive, communication tool for gathering specific company, executive or industry information and enables users to document their findings. The results could be emailed or saved in standard formats such as Word and PDF.

News SummaryThis solution is used by business research consultants to analyse and document the happenings in a particular company for a given period of time. News is categorised by topics such as New Technology, Global Businesses, Litigation, Downsizing, etc. for easy access, and your users can select and print or save News topics of interest.

CRM IntegrationOneSource is able to embed high value business information about your clients and prospects, directly into your CRM application. This enables you to quickly compare the OneSource data in a side-by-side display with internal information to identify key business changes, that your relationship managers should be aware of. OneSource can help you increase the value, adoption and usage of the CRM system and dramatically increase sales teams’ productivity.

Custom ScreeningProvides a more advanced and customised screening tool than currently available via Business Browser, allowing you to create highly defined company lists. For example, creating prospect lists of companies who bank with a specific bank or companies with a specific IT system.

Advisory ConsultingOneSource has several years of experience in data integration and data optimisation. We can provide you domain expertise and technology advice around the best use of your content and OneSource content.

Custom Insights SolutionsOneSource has built information rich templates specifically targeting some critical business functions. These templates are available “as is” or can be quickly modified for your needs. Combined with our hosting facilities, these solutions can be quickly implemented and provide you with a visible edge over competition.

Account PlanningThis solution is used by both sales managers and executives for creating and managing account plans and for applying execution tactics for proactively targeting an account. The plan presents critical information for decision-making such as key financials, SWOT analysis, industry trends, competitors, subsidiaries, latest news categorised by litigation, mergers and acquisition, consumer spending etc. It also provides executive information for prospecting and for building relationships with key contacts.

Underwriters’ TearsheetSuccess in the commercial underwriting business is driven by two factors: speed and accuracy. The challenge is uncovering all of the details your underwriters need to make the best possible decision. To fully assess risk, the OneSource tearsheet provides deeper details into the company, its executives, its competitors and industry. Information is presented as charts and graphs for easy understanding and decision-making. Notes clips are provided throughout the tearsheet for documenting observations and decision-making process.
