Dun & Bradstreet offers data from the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud in packages termed 'Data Blocks' and 'Add-ons'.

Data Blocks

A Data Block is a logical, topic-based grouping of data elements from the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud. Data Blocks empower clients to easily ingest the world-class data they require across their enterprise and do that in a consistent and scalable manner.

Clients can 'stack' data blocks together to customize the data and insights they require to address any use case across their business. Customer's specific combination of Data Blocks are delivered via API, flat files, or a combination. Data Blocks are licensed by domain: Sales & Marketing, Finance, Supply and Compliance.

Data Blocks are made up of approximately 2,500 data elements. Levels have been created within the data blocks to throttle the volume of content delivered in line with a customer's needs/ability to ingest content.

Direct+ offers various Standard and Add-Ons/Non-Standard Data Blocks to support a variety of customer use cases.
