Resources - Site review - OneSource back in frame. Now sourcing much of its UK and European company data from Experian to replace D&B, Michelle Perry tests out the newly-streamlined OneSource Business Browser.(Product/Service Evaluation)

Less than a year ago infoUSA bought Onesource.com, with the result that the business information provider could no longer source its European data from infoUSA's arch rival, Dun & Bradstreet.

In the ensuing months, to ensure its credibility as a leading business database, OneSource has had to prove its mettle and negotiate new feeds for its European data. The information provider now sources its business content from regional providers, such as credit-checking business Experian for companies in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia.

With information overload reaching excessive heights, a content provider's ability to tailor and package data to a user's needs is vital.

Accessible, easy-to-use information sites are increasingly popular among information professionals, but OneSource.com, now with new sources integrated, is back on form.

The Business Browser home page is simply laid out offering the user three initial options: profile, find and track.

Each option is broken down so you can uncover details about companies, industries or executives, and save the results and create alerts. This approach works effectively for all, even for first-time users.

Navigation through the site is straightforward, aided by the shortcuts pull-down menu on the main banner at the top left, which appears on every screen.
