The New York Times, New York Post, Newsday, and The New Yorker,"
said Bill Pardue, CEO and president of corporate and federal markets for

are also critical for anyone doing business on a national and global basis."

Telebase Alliance
LexisNexis’ alliance with Telebase extends the availability of the
Directory of Corporate Affiliations (DCA) linkage database. Under the terms
of the agreement, Telebase will enable widespread access to the Directory
of Corporate Affiliations from any Web site interested in making the information
available to its users. In addition to providing the necessary technology
infrastructure to Web-enable the database, Telebase also allows DCA to
be accessed on a pay-per-use basis. A direct-to-end-user application can
be found at http://www.bizlinkage.com.
Telebase is the developer of the iSolutions program that allows Web
sites to make premium pay-per-use information available to their customers.
DCA is published by National Register Publishing, which is a unit of the
LexisNexis Group.
DCA is a comprehensive resource that offers insight into more than 137,000
parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions worldwide. This
allows users to determine "who owns whom" and to establish a hierarchy
of corporate ownership all the way down to the eighth level of corporate
linkage. The database has coverage of public and private companies worldwide
and was formerly available only on a subscription basis.
