PI and BvD discover the perfect fit

Online information provider Perfect Information (PI) has signed a deal with one of its rivals, Brussels-based Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing (BvD), to make its extensive library more widely available.

The agreement will let BvD customers access PI’s library of over eight million company reports and filings through BvD’s databases.

BvD’s Osiris database already holds details on listed and delisted companies around the world. Under the agreement, users will be able to access the entire library of PI documents from the relevant company reports in Osiris.

Zephyr, BvD’s global database of merger and acquisition deals and rumours, will also offer access to M&A documents from London-based PI.

PI’s online library includes a wide range of annual and interim company reports, equity and debt documents, and regulatory news.

Greg Simidian, PI managing director, said his company was “excited” about the partnership. “BvD has an excellent market reputation and an extensive reach across investment banking desktops, making this affiliation a natural fit,” he said.

Lisa Wright, BvD’s commercial director for Zephyr, added: “Our product suites complement each other. The accessibility of PI’s collection of filings and documents means users will be able to identify and research deals on Zephyr with the added benefit of accessing regulatory deal documentation such as offer documents and prospectuses for planned IPOs.”
