ZoomInfo: A B2B Platform Where World-Class Data Meets Groundbreaking Technology

Earlier this year, Vancouver-based market intelligence company, DiscoverOrg acquired ZoomInfo for a reported $500 million. Recently, the company has—with the launch of a revamped version of its go-to-marketing (GTM) platform, a purported single source of truth for sales, marketing, and recruiting professionals—changed its name to ZoomInfo powered by DiscoverOrg.

The new ZoomInfo platform, a combination of DiscoverOrg and the former ZoomInfo platform, is a cloud-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) platform currently in use by more than 13,500 customers.

With new features, such as integration with marketing and sales workflows, complex organizational charts, and more accurate real-time data verified by a team of more than 150 human researchers, the ZoomInfo platform provides users with the data they need to find, connect, and market their products or services directly to other businesses.

The new ZoomInfo platform is a combination of the best of DiscoverOrg and ZoomInfo. It features a combination of proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning, along with a huge network of contributors, incredible business application integrations, and the unique feature of more than 300 human researchers set with the task of researching and verifying information. 

ZoomInfo empowers companies to deliver predictable, accelerated, and sustainable growth with a bird’s-eye view of contacts, companies, and opportunities.
