Worldwide on-line information provider SkyMinder, by CRIBIS, has announced a new collaboration agreement with Graydon, one of the leading credit information providers in the UK and EU. The two companies have agreed to establish link-ups that will introduce Graydon's online database coverage via SkyMinders global business information platform.

We are working together to make our commercial credit risk information databases instantly accessible online around the world," says Gordon Skaljak, Marketing Director for Graydon in the UK. This collaboration can be seen as a first step and we can expect more developments in the future. The initiative will ultimately enable both companies to enhance online coverage, benefiting users of both SkyMinder's and Graydon's online information service."

SkyMinder has a well-earned reputation as a global player providing a range of business information services," says Martin Williams, Managing Director of Graydon UK. We are also looking forward to Graydon's database being available via SkyMinder's global distribution channels, including their presence in the USA. This is a very exciting opportunity for both parties."

Silvia Cappelli, SkyMinders Business Development Manager, states, Adding Graydons databases to the SkyMinder service will further enhance our content and coverage of more than 36 million public and private companies across more than 230 countries. Graydon is committed to building and maintaining their databases -- together we can provide their first-class information through our first-class service which already provides Financial Data, Credit Ratings, Company Profiles, Industry Breakdowns, Market Trends, Investment Research, News and Statistical Information."

SkyMinder has recently launched a new product release, featuring new functions and improved searching capabilities, making it the ideal medium through which to access Graydon content. Users can now perform searches in more than one SkyMinder function at a time, as well as carrying out simultaneous searches in the Company and Credit Info functions. More News and Statistical Articles are also available from the Company function and Industry searches are now even more precise thanks to the empowered key phrase search option, all of which represents an opportunity for time-saving. SkyMinder is now compatible with integration into existing Internet and Intranet portals.
