Leveraging PO and BC to Drive Your Company’s Data and AI Strategy
At the turn of 2025, AI has been infused in everything we do, both in our personal lives and at work. As AI becomes more mainstream in business, from mastering prompt engineering to having a solid data catalog, it’s become crucial for organizations to ensure their applications are fully AI-ready.
This article will focus on how you can drive AI and Insights from your Sales to Billing cycle at your organization to establish a dependable AI strategy.
PO and BC – Data Catalog:
The word ‘Data Catalog’ gives an impression of all the data being available through connected systems through a single source – this source is AI Agents.
Organizations which run their projects with Project Operations have Sales cycle, Project & Resource Management, Invoicing in Business Central with all the transaction data from Project Operations – they for a data catalog when connected.
AI Agents need a data catalog to have consolidated form a system which it can leverage to give reliable insights and take correct actions which you define in your business. For example – AI will give incorrect responses or not act accordingly if the two systems are not connected, and AI Agents are not able to make sense of it. This will throw off the AI Strategy planned for your organization.
A well-organized Data Catalog increases AI Agents’ reliability and accuracy, enabling correct results and supporting AI use-cases in your organization.
PO-BC Integration Module:
There is an absence of an integration solution between Project Operations and Business Central which caters to connect Customers/Projects from Project Operations to transaction data in Business Central.
Now, the AI Strategy will align only when the systems are seamlessly connected end-to-end. And due to this disconnect, the Project Management as well as the Business Central data doesn’t align and is human-dependent for its reliability which is counter-intuitive. AI won’t give errors, it’ll give incorrect answers! And hence, the integration needs to be in place for data integrity to drive AI Agents off of this reliable data.
To fill this gap of Project Operations and Business Central not being connected out-of-the-box, CloudFronts has released PO-BC Integration Module to bridge this gap and connect Project Operations to Business Central.
This solution connects Project Operations data end-to-end to Business Central and back so that the AI agents can take reliable actions against this data – either automatically or when asked.

This will help optimize operations efficiencies so that both, resources and cashflow can be freed up to focus on growth at the organization.
