QAS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Experian, today announced the company will be moving forward together under one name. QAS is widely regarded for its expertise in contact management and will now be positioned as Experian’s Data Integrity experts. This will increase exposure for QAS systems to broader audiences and up-level the company’s value proposition to focus on business systems as well as technology.

The move is part of Experian’s strategy to be a global leader in delivering information, analytical and marketing services to organisations and consumers, helping to manage the risk and reward of commercial and financial decisions.
