Introduction to Orbis Very Large (company information database) Online

This online session starts at 10:00 UK time.

In this session, Eddie Mallinson (the library's Relationship Manager from Moody's/BvD) will be providing an overview training session on our new data solution, Orbis Very Large. This dataset has replaced Osiris (including all of the same data, and more) and is displayed on the same interface as the other user-friendly solution they provide us with, Fame.

Orbis is a powerful comparable data resource on private and public companies. The 'Very Large' subset has coverage of 118,000 organizations globally with detailed financials, long-term historical data, and granular ownership information, sourced from 170 information providers around the world. This dataset will allow you to create time series panel datasets on lists of companies filtered from over 300 search criteria, which can then be exported and used for external analysis to support your research projects and dissertations. Orbis is also very well suited to your learning and development across Accounting, Finance and Economics courses due to the detailed company financials.
