Bring order and simplicity to your business partnerships

Your B2B customer relationships depend on good data. Right now, that data is potentially scattered across more systems than it should be.

Business Partner Data Cloud FAQs

What is Business Partner Data Cloud, and why is it a must-have for B2B organizations?

Business Partner Data Cloud is our AI-powered master data solution built specifically for the complexities of B2B. It gives your organization a single, trusted view of business partner, account and contact data, making it easier to onboard new partners, unify records and manage intricate account hierarchies across all your systems.

The Business Partner Data Cloud addresses the following challenges:

Fragmented customer records
Complex organization details and contacts
Multi-role relationships
Alternate company hierarchies for reporting
Onboarding inefficiencies
Data misalignment across enterprise applications
Compliance requirements (like KYC and GDPR)

With it, you can better manage complex business partner or customer accounts, hierarchies and indirect sales relationships, which helps to improve sales operations, customer engagement, compliance adherence and risk management.

What core capabilities does the Business Partner Data Cloud deliver?

Business Partner Data Cloud is a purpose-built solution with the following core capabilities:

Data unification: Consolidates and integrates data from your key sources (like ERP, CRM, BI and more) to create a single unified dataset covering all your customers, accounts and contacts, with advanced matching, deduplication and hierarchy management at the core.
Data hygiene: Keeps your customer records clean, accurate and current through automated cleansing, validation and enrichment, with proactive monitoring and anomaly detection running in the background.
Compliance: Helps your organization meet KYC, AML, GDPR and other regulatory requirements by handling personal data responsibly, maintaining full audit trails and enforcing consistent governance policies.
Enrichment: Connects to trusted sources like Dun & Bradstreet to bring firmographic data, financial insights and risk information into your customer profiles, so your segmentation and decisions are based on the full picture.
Synchronization: Keeps your business partner data consistent and accurate across every enterprise system through bi-directional sync and real-time updates, so no team is ever working from stale information.

What are the top business benefits of Business Partner Data Cloud?

The Business Partner Data Cloud is a powerful master data management solution that benefits organizations in a few ways, including:

Increased efficiency: Your team spends less time digging through spreadsheets or chasing down accurate records and more time on work that actually matters, backed by automated workflows that speed up customer setup and reduce operational costs.
Trusted compliance: Governance is centralized, regulatory reporting becomes more manageable and you have a clear, auditable process for meeting data privacy and security requirements.
Smarter decision-making: Your sales, marketing and finance teams all work from the same trusted dataset, which means better forecasting, sharper insights and decisions you can stand behind.
Risk mitigation: Identifies and manages credit risk, business exposure and compliance risks early with the help of enriched, validated data and strong governance protocols.

How does Business Partner Data Cloud fit into broader master data management (MDM)?

The Business Partner Data Cloud is an evolution of traditional customer MDM, specifically tailored for B2B. It goes beyond unifying customer data by offering a comprehensive framework for managing every key relationship across your partner ecosystem, including:

Account hierarchies
Multiple key contacts per account
Complex organizational structures

The platform also supports hierarchy visualization, so your teams can actually see how accounts, contacts and organizations relate to one another, rather than trying to piece it together from disconnected reports or outdated spreadsheets.

On top of that, embedded AI and machine learning handle the heavy lifting by automating data cleansing, enrichment and stewardship, so your team spends less time on maintenance and more time using the data.

What technical considerations should I address?

Integrations: An open API framework lets you connect seamlessly with middleware tools and plug directly into the systems your teams already use, such as SAP, S/4HANA, Salesforce, your financial management platforms and BI tools. You get data consistency and a unified dataset without tearing apart your existing architecture.
Scalability and flexibility: Whether you're managing tens of millions of records today or planning for significant growth in the future, the Business Partner Data Cloud scales with you. It supports multi-cloud environments, custom objects and evolving business requirements so your MDM investment can keep pace with your industry ecosystem.
AI for MDM: Embedded AI and ML take care of matching, deduplication and enrichment automatically, improving your data quality on an ongoing basis and making sure the data feeding your analytics and AI initiatives is something you can actually trust.

What security and compliance features does Business Partner Data Cloud include?

Your business partner data is sensitive — and we treat it that way:

The platform is built on Microsoft Azure, which means you benefit from enterprise-grade security, multi-layered defenses, encryption and continuous threat monitoring from day one.
Azure meets global standards, including ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS, helping your organization maintain rigorous data integrity and regulatory alignment even in complex, multidomain environments.
Personal data privacy means your personal data is supported across GDPR, CCPA and other relevant regulations, including consent management, audit trails and data subject rights like DSARs.
Governance centralizes your data stewardship, enforces policies and provides workflow- driven approvals for onboarding and data changes — all managed through role-based access so the right people have the right level of control.
Auditability ensures full lineage and data-change traceability, giving your teams — and your auditors — exactly what they need to meet both regulatory and internal requirements.

What are some practical use cases for Business Partner Data Cloud?

Here are some standard use cases for Business Partner Data Cloud:

Onboarding new partners: Automates and centralizes your onboarding process to cut down on errors, get new partners up and running faster and make sure compliance is built in from the start — not bolted on at the end.
Consolidating accounts: Merge duplicate records, untangle complex hierarchies and give your organization a single, reliable view of every key relationship for reporting and analytics you can trust.
Regulatory reporting: Keeps your dataset accurate and complete so your regulatory submissions are easier to deliver on time — without last-minute scrambles to find missing information.
Indirect sales and channel management: Manages your distributor, wholesaler and retailer relationships in one place with the relationship intelligence you need to optimize trade promotions, sharpen your outreach and understand what's really happening across your indirect channels.
Credit risk assessment: Brings together firmographic and risk data to support smarter credit decisions and gives your finance team a clearer view of exposure across your customer base.

How is the Business Partner Data Cloud different from competitive products?

Here’s what separates Business Partner Data Cloud from the competition:

Purpose-built for B2B: This isn't a general MDM solution retrofitted for B2B. It's been designed from the start for the kind of complexity your organization actually deals with — indirect customers and trading partners, legal entity hierarchies and all.
A unified, multidomain platform: You don't have to stitch together multiple tools — or maintain yet another spreadsheet — to get a complete picture of your partner ecosystem. All the core capabilities and customer data services are in one platform, working together.
Relationship mapping and visualization: Get real relationship intelligence with built-in mapping and visualization tools that make it easy to understand how your accounts, contacts and organizations connect.
Native Salesforce integration: Your Salesforce environment connects directly — no third-party middleware required — so your sales team's outreach is always backed by accurate, up-to-date data.
AI-driven data quality: Machine learning is embedded into matching, deduplication and data stewardship, not added as an afterthought, so your data quality improves continuously with minimal manual intervention.
Proven delivery: We've worked with some of the world's most complex enterprises. The architecture is proven, the references are global and it's built to scale with you.

What business partner pain points does Business Partner Data Cloud address?

Business Partner Data Cloud hits on these main pain points:

Inconsistent and incomplete data: Centralizes your data to keep it consistent and complete, no matter where in the organization it's being accessed.
Data silos: Breaks down data silos by unifying data and providing a single source of truth.
Poor data quality: Offers built-in cleansing, validation and enrichment to improve reliability.
Onboarding challenges: Automates and standardizes onboarding processes for fewer errors, faster timelines and a better first impression with your new partners.
Regulatory compliance: Provides stronger governance and security practices so you can meet requirements as a matter of course, not race to catch up when an audit or deadline appears.
