Dedicated Editorial Team | At Walker's, Research the business information database is compiled by an in-house team of over 75 experienced editors. All of our editors have the requisite functional knowledge and experience. Some have background and experience in accountancy, while others have worked on behalf of leading information service providers. | Comprehensive Data Sources | Our database is compiled using comprehensive, public and proprietary, sources of data. This list of data sources is continuously updated and kept current - it is what differentiates Walker's. We call it our secret sauce. | Broad Range of Techniques | We use telephone surveys, direct mail campaigns, web research and a number of other proprietary techniques. Each data field in the database is time stamped and is updated at pre-defined frequency. Our database, as a result, is constantly updated and kept up to date. | Stringent Quality Control | Our quality control department uses a suite of tools to automatically flag inconsistencies in the data. Some of these exceptions are automatically corrected while others are processed by the editorial staff. This ensures that the data is conistent across each and every record and conforms to the editorial style guide. | | | |
