Customer data platforms (CDPs) help organizations gather and centralize customer data from various digital touchpoints to gain a complete understanding of customer behavior. CDPs enable companies to obtain comprehensive profiles of individual customers to personalize their experiences. As customers increasingly expect seamless experiences across channels, businesses are leveraging customer data platforms to develop strong relationships through highly-targeted and relevant engagements. CDPs allow firms to harness vast amounts of first-party customer data from websites, mobile apps, emails, social media, CRM systems, and other sources to gain actionable insights. The aggregated data helps identify patterns, understand preferences, predict needs, and deliver hyper-personalized experiences.
