onPanjiva: Round 1 Stats and Round 2 Dates

The window for Round 1 onPanjiva nominations has closed, and we are now reviewing applications.  In early October, we’ll announce the data sources that will be integrated into the Panjiva intelligence platform during the fourth quarter of 2009.  In the meantime, I thought I’d share some stats.  In the first six weeks of the onPanjiva program:

  • 111 data providers were nominated
  • 23 data providers submitted applications

onPanjiva Round 1 nominations came from several sources: Panjiva clients, industry experts, and data providers themselves.  And, through this process, we’ve been introduced to an incredibly wide variety of data providers – organizations across different industries, of different sizes, and with different types of information.

So we’re happy to announce that the onPanjiva program will continue on a regular cycle, with applications to be reviewed in quarterly rounds.  Between now and November 15th, you can nominate information providers you would like to see onPanjiva during the first quarter of 2010 – as part of onPanjiva Round 2.  The first company to nominate an information provider that ultimately publishes its information onPanjiva will receive one-year’s worth of free access to information from this provider.  And, of course, information providers can also nominate themselves for inclusion onPanjiva.

onPanjiva Thank You / Reminder

A month ago, we announced the launch of the onPanjiva program.  Through this program, information providers can apply to publish their information on the Panjiva platform — and anyone interested in promoting global trade transparency can nominate data providers to be onPanjiva.

With about a week and a half remaining for first round nominations (deadline is August 31st for data sources to be considered for inclusion in the fourth quarter of 2009), we want to take this opportunity to thank those who have nominated data sources.  We’ve been thrilled by the diversity of people making nominations, as well as by the diversity of nominations.

The last month has confirmed two of our key beliefs:

  1. There are a lot of people interested in promoting transparency in global trade
  2. There are a lot of sources of valuable information about companies around the world

Thank you!

For those who have not yet nominated data providers, there’s still time.  Until August 31st, you can nominate data sources for inclusion onPanjiva.  And, remember, if you are the first to nominate an information provider to be onPanjiva– and that information provider ultimately publishes information onPanjiva– your company will receive a year of free access to this information.

Thought I’d pass along coverage of the onPanjiva program.  As a reminder, the deadline for nominations is August 31st.   If you know of information providers whose data would be valuable to global trade decision-makers — or if you want to nominate your own organization to publish data onPanjiva — take 30 seconds and nominate now.

Panjiva / onPanjiva in Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider       onPanjiva / Panjiva in Fortune’s CNN Money

Silicon Alley Insider: “Now, Panjiva is trying to make its service more useful to a broader audience by allowing other companies to build their data — for paying customers, via an ‘app store’-like revenue sharing deal — into Panjiva’s search engine of global suppliers.  Through August 31, the company is accepting nominations for its new onPanjiva program.”

VentureBeat: Using government data as a platform for global trade

VentureBeat: “The new service, called onPanjiva, is letting any other data provider, such as governments, credit bureaus and non-profit organizations, apply to integrate its data with Panjiva’s service…  For businesses looking to be included, Panjiva says it hopes to use its service to drive revenue to those partners.”

onPanjiva / Panjiva in SpendMatters

SpendMatters: “It’s not too often that you see true creativity on a continuous basis in the procurement space… [But Panjiva] has risen to the forefront of the market from a mindshare and ideas perspective in just a matter of months…  I’m pulling for them, because if they can make [onPanjiva] work, it will have a tremendous positive impact on procurement organizations when it comes to acquiring supplier content to better manage supplier information and supplier relationships.”

Panjiva / onPanjiva in About.com

About.com: “The first company to nominate an information provider that ultimately publishes its information onPanjiva will receive one-year’s worth of free access to information from this provider. Information providers can also nominate themselves for inclusion onPanjiva.”

Panjiva / onPanjiva in Supply & Demand Chain Executive

Supply & Demand Chain Executive: “‘Just as the App Store connects iPhone users with applications they want, onPanjiva connects global businesses with relevant information they need to engage in global trade and mitigate supply chain risk,’ said James Psota, Panjiva co-founder and chief technology officer.”

The onPanjiva Program

Josh Green | July 20, 2009

Today, we are very excited to announce the launch of the onPanjiva program. Through this program, information providers can apply to publish their information on the Panjiva platform. If there’s information that you’d like to see onPanjiva, take 30 seconds and nominate an information provider now.  More about the program can be found at http://on.panjiva.com.

onPanjiva

The back-story…  Over the last few years, as we published profiles of the hundreds of thousands of companies engaged in global trade, we learned two things:

  1. Our clients, global trade decision-makers, always want more information — and more kinds of information.
  2. There are so many sources of information out there!

Over the last several months, the entire Panjiva team has made a concerted effort to connect our clients with more information, and more kinds of information. We announced deals with financial information provider Sinosure, social responsibility standard-setters SAI and WRAP, and illicit trade red flagger deKieffer & Horgan.

In addition to forging relationships with these information providers, we have invested in technology — the technology to take all these data sources and integrate them seamlessly. You can see the results of these efforts in the newly upgraded Panjiva Search.

But, really, we’ve only scratched the surface. onPanjiva represents the next step in our efforts to connect global trade decision-makers with the information they need. With your help, we will be identifying information providers whose data should be onPanjiva. We will move quickly to give our clients access to this valuable data — and, in so doing, give information providers the benefit of a broader audience for their data.

Lately we’ve been calling onPanjiva, “an App Store for Global Trade.” Just as the App Store connects iPhone users with applications they want, the onPanjiva program connects global trade decision-makers with the information they need.

The analogy isn’t perfect. In the first integration cycle (applications due by August 31st), we will be starting small, with a focus on quality. Information providers interested in being onPanjiva will fill out applications and provide data samples. Panjiva’s business development team, in consultation with our clients, will then choose a small number of data sources to integrate into Panjiva Search during the fourth quarter of 2009. In future cycles, we will expand the number of data sources eligible for integration.

Of course, the onPanjiva program only works with the participation of those who believe, as we do, that connecting decision-makers with information is the key to transforming global trade. If you know of an organization with valuable information, we hope that you will take 30 seconds to nominate this information provider to be onPanjiva. And if you are an information provider, we encourage you to nominate yourself.

Note: if you are the first to nominate an information provider to be onPanjiva — and that information provider ultimately publishes information onPanjiva — you will receive a year of free access to this information!
