Company Background

Since 1992, OPENonline has been a pioneer in providing instant access to a broad selection of business records from a large array of agencies. OPENonline is a leading business-to-business online provider of regional and national public records. OPENonline was founded on the principles of providing secure distribution of data to support sound business decisions. As a result of this philosophy, the information available through OPENonline continues to be reserved for corporate clients with legitimate business needs and has never been offered to the general public.

In mid-2001, OPENonline merged with Portland, Oregon-based Commercial Information Systems, Inc. (CIS). The union of the two companies, which featured parallel backgrounds in the information services industry, strengthened OPENonline's position as a market leader and provided enhanced technical capabilities, additional products and services, and even greater customer care capabilities. Both companies became fully integrated in April 2002 with the release of a newly designed, flexible user interface that offers a culmination of product lines from both entities.

Now more than ever before, companies and professionals across America are able to quickly, easily and affordably access data that helps them screen job applicants and potential tenants, perform investigations, locate businesses or individuals, uncover hidden assets, validate information or complete research for a wide variety of business reasons. OPENonline's customer base includes human resources professionals, property managers, credit and collections experts, investigative firms, financial institutions and government agencies, to name a few. These professionals rely on OPENonline for instant access to a diverse range of information to make informed decisions and help them mitigate risks.
