Dun & Bradstreet has teamed up with IBM and its Watson X AI platform to create "Ask Procurement," a user-friendly interface that transforms how procurement professionals conduct supplier research. This AI-driven tool enables users to swiftly access important information such as financial health, ESG scores, and risk profiles, cutting vendor vetting time by 10-20%. The initiative underscores the value of integrating AI with business processes, utilizing proprietary data alongside large language models for a competitive edge, and continuously enhancing the AI solution through user feedback and workflow insights.
