BvD launches ODIN
BvD launches ODIN
Bureau van Dijk (BvD) has launched ODIN, a new product containing information on companies in the Nordic region. ODIN covers Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway and contains information on 600,000 companies. The company reports are in the same standardized format as on BvD's pan-European database, AMADEUS, to facilitate cross-border searching and analysis.
In addition to company reports, ODIN also contains news, market research and has links to M&A data on BvD's ZEPHYR, which contains details of mergers and acquisitions deals worldwide. Stock data is provided for listed companies. The company information comes from four expert local data providers. Full analysis options are available and include the facility to view the results of searches on maps of the region.
As with BvD's other recent product launches ODIN is named after a mythological character – the king of the gods in Nordic legend. Other such products include OSIRIS, ISIS and ZEPHYR.
