The rising need for Customer Data Platforms (CDP)

Customers interact with your business in many ways. A Walker Study predicts that the customer experience will replace price and product as key brand differentiators. Customer demand for personalized experiences increases, so it is essential to have a real-time, single view of the customer. That is why it is vital to use a Customer Data Platform (CDP) like Dynamics 365.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights is a leading CDP that takes the basic functionality of a typical CDP and augments it with its suite of advanced features and integrations, including out-of-the-box AI and ML models. 

It helps organizations unify all the customer data to provide AI-powered insights in real-time and understand customer behavior using digital and cross-channel analytics. It takes the value proposition of CDPs to the next level by augmenting CDP’s basic functionality with a suite of advanced features that enable a faster time to value, more complete customer profiles, and a lower cost to deploy with less reliance on IT and consultants.
