Dun & Bradstreet

From Stockholm to Berlin to London, we connected with clients across Snowflake World Tour events to explore how verified business context can help enterprise teams work faster and smarter 🌠 One of the standout sessions came in London, where Ed Moores took the stage with Joseph Bryant from Bupa, an international healthcare provider, to share how D&B helped the company build a foundation of AI-ready business intelligence at scale. With D&B's verified business context available in Snowflake, Bupa has gained greater visibility into acquisition, retention and cross-sell opportunities while building a stronger foundation for future AI initiatives. The conversation doesn’t stop at the World Tour: Dun & Bradstreet is expanding how customers can access and use our verified business intelligence through Snowflake Marketplace, including complimentary D&B data samples packaged with Snowflake Cortex Agents.

At the Big Data LDN's Women in Tech event last week, Alicia Heavisides represented Dun & Bradstreet in discussing the latest in data foundations and ownership, connected platforms, and embedded governance. Alicia explained on the Women in Data panel, "From Insight to Action: Delivering Value Through Analytics and Decisioning," the organizations that will gain the most from AI will be those that leverage it alongside trusted context to deliver better decisions, measurable outcomes, and sustainable business value. Big Data LDN brought together senior data leaders, analytics professionals, AI practitioners, architects, and decision-makers focused on a common challenge: how to turn data and AI investments into real business outcomes.

Perpetual Know Your Customer (pKYC) is a great example of how AI can deliverable measurable impact when it's built on the right context 🤝🏽 As Chris Laws explained from the stage of the nCino EMEA Summit in London, financial institutions leveraging verified business information from the D&B Commercial Graph™ within the nCino platform can move past manual KYC checks to continuous monitoring of ownership, risk, and compliance signals. This means they can accelerate onboarding and make faster, more informed decisions across the entire commercial relationship. Learn more and book your personalized demo: https://lnkd.in/ewwVfP-i

���� Too many finance professionals spend hours gathering, validating, and cross-checking business info when it comes to deal memos and due diligence reports.

The big takeaway for us from Dreamforce 2026? 👀 👩🏽💻 The next era of AI will not be won by the model alone. It will be won by the organizations that give intelligent agents the trusted, connected context they need to reason, act, and deliver meaningful outcomes. 📈 Across the keynotes, sessions, and the expo floor at #DF26, one message kept surfacing: when context is fragmented, unclear, or unreliable, agents fail. When it is governed, accessible, and grounded in trusted data, AI can move beyond making suggestions and begin taking action across real business workflows. At Dun & Bradstreet, this reinforces something fundamental to how we think about AI: Trusted business data is not simply fuel for the agent. It is the context that helps the agent understand: 🧍 Who it is dealing with 🏢 How businesses are connected 🔢 Whether its next action can be trusted As organizations move from AI experimentation to deployment across new workstreams, the competitive advantage will come from more than sophisticated models. It will come from the verified identity, connected business context, and governance that allow those models to work confidently in the real world. Did you attend Dreamforce?
