Customer Data Platform (CDP)

A Customer Data Platform (CDP) is an important part of the marketing strategy for companies. It enables data from all systems used by marketing and sales to be brought together and analyzed. This includes data from CRM and ERP systems, web analytics, marketing automation, inbound marketing and social media. The goal is to create a central customer view, gain insights, and manage marketing processes across systems.

The most important requirements for a Customer Data Platform

A CDP should be able to aggregate, validate, enrich, analyze and visualize data. A golden record of person and account profiles helps aggregate key information about customers. Potentials, clusters, predictions, scores, CLV and churn calculations help companies gain key insights about their customers. A Consent Management enables to manage and aggregate all consents.

A Customer Data Platform also makes it possible to manage and activate marketing processes and campaigns. Data is captured from all source systems, consolidated at the person level, and enriched as needed. Customers are segmented based on rules and the segmented data is passed to executing systems such as a CRM system or marketing automation system.

A CDP also offers features such as synchronization of results and changes with all systems, a role and legal system, reporting and analysis, validation, correction and enrichment of data, mapping of processes and deposit of rules. It can also automate administrative operations and trigger and control processes across all connected systems.
