Dun & Bradstreet has announced the availability of Graph Connector in Microsoft 365 Copilot, providing developers and enterprises with no-cost access to a curated sample of verified business data from the D&B Commercial Graph™ to support AI-powered workflows and business intelligence applications.
The integration is designed to help organizations ground AI-generated insights in verified commercial data, enabling more reliable enterprise workflows, improved decision-making, and reduced operational risk.
According to Dun & Bradstreet, Graph Connector gives developers and enterprises access to foundational business information on tens of thousands of public and private companies globally.

The company stated that the integration enables organizations to experiment with and build AI-powered workflows using verified business context directly within Microsoft 365 Copilot.
By grounding AI-generated insights in validated commercial data, Dun & Bradstreet said enterprises can improve the accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness of AI-assisted business operations.
Dun & Bradstreet positioned Graph Connector as part of the growing enterprise need for trusted and structured data infrastructure to support AI adoption at scale.
"As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI, access to verified, well-structured data is essential to achieving meaningful outcomes," said Gary Kotovets, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Dun & Bradstreet.
"By embedding a curated sample of our verified commercial data directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot, Graph Connector lowers the barrier for developers and enterprises to start building with AI, making it easier to incorporate verified data into workflows and applications from day one."
According to the company, the connector is powered by the same D&B Commercial Graph used in enterprise-level risk, compliance, and growth applications.
This allows organizations to move from exploratory AI use cases within Copilot toward broader deployments using deeper datasets and advanced analytics.
Dun & Bradstreet stated that the connector is intended to support several early-stage and exploratory enterprise workflows.
Organizations can use verified business data to better understand potential customers, improve account targeting, and support outreach efforts.

According to Microsoft, integrating trusted business identity data into AI workflows provides a foundational layer for broader enterprise knowledge operations.
"Knowing who you're doing business with is an essential part of knowledge workflows," said Chantrelle Nielsen, Principal Product Management for Microsoft 365 Copilot at Microsoft.
"Integrating this sample of Dun & Bradstreet data into Microsoft 365 Copilot provides that crucial first step of business identification and opens the door for users to explore new ways to use D&B's continuously updated business data in Copilot."
Dun & Bradstreet emphasized the importance of verified commercial identity systems in supporting scalable enterprise AI environments.
The company highlighted the role of the D-U-N-S® Number, originally introduced in 1963, as a global standard for commercial entity identification.
According to Dun & Bradstreet, the D&B Commercial Graph structures and connects business identity data across enterprise systems, helping AI applications operate on accurate and validated information.
As organizations continue expanding enterprise AI deployments, verified commercial data infrastructure is expected to play an increasingly important role in improving AI governance, reducing operational risk, and enabling more reliable automation across business processes.
