Iberinform

In 1975, long before "big data" was a common term, Iberinform was established in Spain with a clear mission: to provide companies with commercial and financial information. The core of the business was to help other businesses make smarter decisions, assess the financial health of their partners, and ultimately, minimize the risk of doing business. The company operated by collecting and analyzing business data, offering reports and services that provided a crucial layer of insight for financial, sales, and logistics departments. This foundational work set the stage for its most significant evolutionary step. The major turning point in Iberinform's journey was its integration into a larger entity. The company became a subsidiary of Crédito y Caución, a global credit insurance operator. This move wasn't just an acquisition; it was a strategic fusion. By becoming part of a leading insurance group, Iberinform gained deeper resources and a broader international network, cementing its role as a key player in the business information sector. With this backing, Iberinform expanded its reach and capabilities. A key event was the 2016 acquisition of an 80% stake in the Portuguese information company, Ignios. This wasn't a hostile takeover but the natural next step in a long-standing partnership, creating a powerful Iberian leader in business data. Today, Iberinform has pivoted to a fully digital, data-driven model, using cloud solutions and predictive analytics to serve a wide range of customers, from small businesses to large corporations, helping them navigate the complexities of commerce.
