PAR collaborates with Spectron – offers ECP database in Belgium

Sweden-based European data specialists PAR have entered into collaboration with Spectron Business Solutions in order to market and sell its EuroContactPool database in Belgium.

World’s fastest growing B2B database

The EuroContactPool database is the world’s fastest growing and most comprehensive B2B (business-to business) database. It contains 22 million companies and 16.4 million company officials in 16 European countries.

EuroContactPool is the platform for PAR’s European data quality services, which make automatic monitoring, updating and maintenance of company registers possible. The development of “PAR Manager” plugins for Microsoft Dynamics and SuperOffice CRM-system (Customer Relationship Management) means that data can be transferred and updated seamlessly between EuroContactPool and the clients’ local databases.

Spectron Business Solutions is Belgium’s leading B2B data specialist and works with data delivery, data quality, data intelligence and database management. Collaboration with PAR means that Spectron can offer its Belgian clients a complete range of data services within Europe.

International databases like EuroContactPool are essential

Alain De Schouwer, MD of Spectron Business Solutions, comments: “Our focus on international data has increased significantly in recent years. We believe that international contacts and collaboration have become more and more important to today’s companies. That’s why international databases, such as EuroContactPool, have become essential for all companies with international contacts.

With data from EuroContactPool, we can not only guarantee our clients access to high-quality data – we can also offer other practical advantages, such as a one-off starting cost, one contact and one and the same consistent format throughout Europe.”

One total solution for high quality European data

Johan Lindqvist, Business Manager International of PAR Sweden says: “Maintaining the high quality of pan-European data is an enormous undertaking for any organisation; but obtaining solutions from multiple suppliers with different formats and price structures is not the answer. Our collaboration with Spectron means we can now offer Belgian companies a total solution for high quality European data.”

The PAR Manager plugin makes single or mass imports of company data to a company's CRM system possible. It also facilitates data cleaning and removal of duplicates by comparing entries to the EuroContactPool database. A plugin for SalesForce.com will be released later this year.
