Due to the increasing need to enhance security and confidentiality of business data, Dun and Bradstreet Corp. (NYSE:DNB) has expressed that it has started closing a deal with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Azure as one of its cloud platforms. With this agreement, it will be possible for Dun & Bradstreet to avail its business data through the Microsoft Dynamic 365. According to many sources, these collaboration is a mutual one because of the fact that it will be based on three strategic pillars.
One of these pillars is that Dun & Bradstreet will be in a position to utilize Microsoft’s Azure as its cloud platform. Second, Dun & Bradstreet business data will be very much available and very secure if they are presented through Microsoft Dynamics 365. And thirdly, is that the common data service owned by Microsoft will be selling through an arrangement between the two companies.
