Enterprise problems.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first is fractured identities. Customers engage across a host of online and offline channels, sharing diverse and inconsistent identifiers that are all but impossible to reconcile using legacy approaches, preventing an accurate, unified customer view. This results in major downstream problems: from inaccurate insights and segmentation to poor personalization and CX.

The customer data brands need is trapped in siloed systems (loyalty, email, online and offline transactions, digital engagement data, and more) where no one can access it. Brands have resorted to highly manual approaches to unlock this data, but they\u2019re notoriously fragile, time-consuming, and incomplete. Combined with massive scale, high latency, and constantly changing systems and needs, enterprises are spinning their wheels in their quest to build the much-sought-after \u201csingle view of the customer\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third is a lack of insights connected to actions. Marketers and business users have been starved for customer insights and actionable customer data. They need tools that surface insights and shortcut decisions. They need point-and-click access to their data to build segments, activate omnichannel campaigns, and measure the true ROI of their programs at the customer-level (not the channel level).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Promise of the CDP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an ongoing attempt to overcome these problems, IT, Analytics, and Marketing leaders have been cobbling together a combination of 3rd party data services, data lakes and warehouses, ETL and integration tools, marketing automation tools and more.

It holds the promise of finally helping brands achieve their customer-centric goals. Unfortunately, most CDPs are mid-market-focused, marketing-only point solutions optimized for one slice of the customer data workflow, not the end-to-end needs of the enterprise. The larger the brand, the more they report CDPs choking on their complex, large-scale datasets, being stuck in implementation inferno, or recognizing only a fraction of the ROI and business impact they intended for their CDP project.
