Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) is integrating its global corporate data system into artificial intelligence (AI) platforms from Microsoft and IBM. In September, D&B announced the incorporation of its D&B Commercial Graph with Microsoft and IBM AI solutions. Earlier this month, the company unveiled new integrations through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales AI agents.
These integrations allow verified information on legal entities, ownership structures, corporate relationships, and risks to be utilized directly within automated workflows. Moreover, D&B's Commercial Graph became accessible to IBM watsonx Orchestrate agent catalog on September 17 via MCP. This integration enables AI systems to acquire verified business context while executing tasks in finance, credit analysis, compliance, procurement, sales, marketing, and corporate data management.
The system's core remains the D-U-N-S Number, a unique nine-digit identifier for a legal entity, enabling AI systems to precisely identify a company and link relevant information from various sources. Earlier this year, Dun & Bradstreet also announced partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google's Gemini-based solutions.
This collaboration enables the utilization of D&B Commercial Graph in ChatGPT, Codex, and other AI systems for financial and analytical tasks. Maksym Urakin, Director of Development and Marketing at Interfax-Ukraine and Head of D&B-Interfax-Ukraine's business unit, emphasized the significance of AI-driven decision-making in corporate matters.
He highlighted that while AI can process information rapidly, the reliability of the data used in decision-making is crucial. He stressed that inaccurate identification of legal entities, parent companies, beneficiaries, or changes in ownership structures could propagate errors throughout automated processes. As such, verified corporate data is becoming the foundation for corporate AI.
With its global information infrastructure encompassing over 600 million public and private companies across more than 200 countries, D&B's business data and analytical solutions cater to a wide range of industries, including business identification, counterparty verification, credit and commercial risk assessment, compliance, supply chain management, and corporate data management.
The specialized D&B-Interfax-Ukraine unit assists Ukrainian companies in navigating international business data, partner verification, and obtaining a D-U-N-S Number. For inquiries, individuals can reach out via the D&B resource dnb.ua, email [email protected], or call +38 (044) 270-65-74.
