Know who you are doing business with
Reliable and up-to-date information is essential in the selection process of new suppliers. The interests and risks are simply too great to trust parties 'with their blue eyes'.

Furthermore, mutual dependencies can be mapped out. This is also important information that you can include in your decision-making process when assessing an RFI or RFQ. When dealing with suppliers abroad, specific country information (economic, social-political, commercial) and the specific risks involved in doing business in a country also play a role.
