BrightQuery and Senzing Partner to Deliver Faster, Smarter Business Data Resolution

BrightQuery, a leading provider of verified global business data, and Senzing, the leader in AI for entity resolution, announce a partnership to help organizations clean, connect and trust their business data with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Closing the Gaps in Business Data

Disconnected and incomplete data has long been a barrier to confident decision-making. Records are fragmented across systems, often missing ownership details, financial linkages, or relationships between businesses and individuals. Inconsistencies, errors, and missing information make matching a time-consuming, error-prone process. The result: compliance blind spots, flawed analytics, and AI initiatives that fail due to untrustworthy data.

Better Together: Comprehensive Datasets & Entity Resolution

The joint solution combines BrightQuery’s comprehensive business datasets with the Senzing entity resolution SDK, which resides and runs on the customer’s infrastructure without requiring any data to ever leave the customer’s environment.

BrightQuery offers verified data on more than 274 million global businesses and 226 million legal entities, drawn from official government filings and enriched with digital presence sources like LinkedIn and Crunchbase. This data encompasses large enterprises and small businesses alike – including sole proprietorships, DBAs, LLCs, and partnerships – providing comprehensive coverage across the U.S. business landscape. BrightQuery data spans corporate hierarchies, beneficial ownership, financial and employment data, executives and directors, and firmographics such as size, industry, and ownership type.

Senzing AI makes it possible to resolve those records – and an organization’s own internal data – into unified 360-degree views of entities that include related connections and networks. Its entity resolution technology automatically handles messy or misleading data, resolving duplicates, correcting false negatives, and surfacing hidden relationships such as shared addresses, common officers, and shell company linkages.

“At BrightQuery, our mission is to make the world’s business data accessible, accurate, and actionable. By partnering with Senzing, we are giving access to our customers to the richest firmographic and financial dataset with the most advanced entity resolution technology using Senzing standardized data format (JSON).” said Jose M. Plehn, Ph.D., CEO of BrightQuery.

The Business Case for Clean, Connected Data

Research shows that 70% of AI projects fail because they are built on poor data foundations, while 40% of compliance time is spent verifying business identities instead of assessing risk. The BrightQuery-Senzing partnership directly addresses these challenges by delivering high-coverage data and trusted resolution in one package.

Organizations can expect measurable improvements, including up to a 60% reduction in onboarding time and a fourfold increase in visibility into risk signals. By ensuring accurate, linked business identities, customers can accelerate compliance reviews, strengthen fraud detection, and ground advanced AI or GenAI initiatives in reliable data.

What Makes This Partnership Valuable

• 80M+ verified U.S. business records from BrightQuery
• Self-tuning, real-time entity resolution from Senzing
• Auto-mapped, Senzing-ready bulk files
• Fast onboarding, high trust, explainable results
• No data migration or integration required

Real-World Impact

In one example, two entities – “Coopertown” and “Exhibit Fair” – appeared to be separate companies in internal records. BrightQuery revealed a shared legal name and tax ID, and Senzing instantly resolved them into a single entity. This correction prevented duplicate outreach and closed a compliance gap that had gone undetected by internal systems.

The solution is designed for fast evaluation. Data scientists, compliance officers, and business analysts can run tests in minutes, with no integration or data migration required. Because no data leaves the customer’s system, privacy and compliance are protected.

“Our technology is designed for exactly this kind of challenge,” said Dr Gurpinder Dhillon, Head of Data Partner Strategy & Ecosystem at Senzing. “With BrightQuery’s trusted data and our real-time entity resolution, organizations get a complete view of the businesses they care about in minutes – without migrations, without disruption, and with results that are explainable and repeatable.”

Broad Use Cases

The partnership is particularly valuable for:

• KYC / KYB Enhancement – Identify and verify business entities in real time.
• Customer 360 and MDM – Resolve fragmented records across CRMs, ERPs, and data lakes.
• Fraud Detection and Compliance – Link shell companies, trace beneficial owners, and strengthen AML workflows.
• AI and GenAI Enablement – Ground large language models in clean, deduplicated business entity data.
