Why do so Many Libraries and Universities Partner with Kompass?

Kompass has formed long-term relationships with many libraries across the world. Some of these include the San Francisco Public Library, the Toronto Public Library, the Library of Congress, and the Edmonton Public Library. Libraries, universities, and other institutions of public knowledge have been able to greatly improve their service to patrons by partnering with Kompass.

Library and university users can seriously benefit from access to the EasyBusiness service from Kompass. We’ll get into a more in-depth description of EasyBusiness in just a minute, but the short version is that EasyBusiness puts a whole world of B2B information at your fingertips. Library and university patrons, professors, students, researchers, job seekers, business owners, marketers or simply curious individuals looking for new knowledge, can have quick access to what they’re looking for through EasyBusiness from Kompass.

Why Do Libraries and Universities Need Databases?

Before we get into the details on EasyBusiness, let’s answer the big question: why should libraries and universities bother with databases in the first place? Can’t patrons find all the information they need through a simple search on Bing, Yahoo!, or Google?

In a perfect world, they would. But these public search engines can only give patrons access to information that organizations have already made available to the public. This means much of the information patrons are most interested in is either behind paywalls or simply not available online.

In addition, the unregulated nature of the internet means that much of the information patrons can find online comes from unverified sources and unqualified people. The information with the best quality control—including magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals—is often unavailable or difficult to find. Given the fact that a single search can often bring millions (even hundreds of millions) of results, no human researcher has time to sift all the information to find the most valuable sources.

Databases like EasyBusiness help to solve these problems. They are often dedicated to specific subjects (such as B2B directories) and are compiled in a way that ensures the quality of the information contained. Perhaps most importantly, they offer more fine-grained search criteria that allow patrons to narrow down the most relevant information.

So that’s why databases are important for libraries and universities. Now: why EasyBusiness?

What is EasyBusiness from Kompass?

EasyBusiness is a multi-purpose tool from Kompass. At the heart of the service is the EasyBusiness database, with a directory of over 59 million businesses across the world. Business owners, sales teams, and marketing teams often use EasyBusiness for prospecting, market segmentation, and other research purposes.

There’s more to EasyBusiness than just the database, though. With a database of that size, it takes a powerful search engine to put the information to the best possible use. As of now, the EasyBusiness search engine has over 60 search criteria, allowing users to pinpoint exactly the information they need to optimize their sales. Results can be filtered through obvious criteria like location, industry, and number of employees, but also by not-so-obvious things, such as languages spoken, turnover rates, and import/export region. Marketers can do the market study, analysis and industry overview.

With EasyBusiness, your library and university users will have easy access to exactly the B2B information they’re looking for.
