Read how Adobe RT-CDP improves the customer journey.
Though there are many reasons, here we are presenting the 5 most powerful capabilities that could be a reason to migrate to Real-time Adobe CDP (RT-CDP).
Data Collection
With over 40 native connectors, 200+ partners, and more than 75 prebuilt marketing activation destinations, Adobe RT-CDP offers extensive capabilities for data collection. You can feed client-side information, server-side collection (APIs) data, call center data, mobile and app data, in-store data, and data from the CRM system into CDP. The incoming information can be behavioral data, demographic data, transactional data, POS, IoT, device data, and others. Apart from these, Adobe lets you build your own Connectors powered by APIs and get your data in.
Profile Management
The major challenge in delivering relevant digital experiences to the customers is the management of disconnected data and how to tie these data together coming from various channels. Adobe’s enterprise CDP helps in managing disconnected data, providing relevant and consistent digital experiences to your customers. It stitches data together to provide a complete view of your customers by linking identities and creating identity graphs for individuals. Adobe Real-Time CDP takes identity and profile management to a whole new level. It also offers streaming data ingestion that means profiles can be updated in real-time whenever any new action is noted.
No 3rd Party Cookies Dependency
Adobe prioritizes privacy and data governance in data collection and management. This is why it gives priority to first-party data. It stitches durable identifiers (e.g., email ID, contact details, CRM ID, etc.) with pseudonymous first-party cookie IDs. This will give you more control over data sharing and integration and insulate you from the problems that occur because of third-party data.
In Adobe CDP, identities take a different path by pegging them to the data sets. A data set can come in with any ID or multiple IDs and these IDs can be stitched together in real-time. Durable identifiers like email ID, phone number, CRM ID are stitched with pseudonymous first-party cookie IDs. Further, the data sharing and integrations are built on these synced IDs which help you get more control and insulate from 3rd-party data problems.
Segmentation
RT-CDP offers advanced features for segmentation- Sequential segmentation, Dynamic Segmentation, and Multi-entity Segmentation. You can define segments using UI or API.
Sequential Segmentation- In general, a user journey is sequential in nature. For example, a customer-first views a product then adds it to the cart and then makes a purchase. Accordingly, you can create a segment based on the timeline of such events.
Dynamic Segmentation- You can define segments that are dynamic in nature and cannot be targeted with static segmentation. This segmentation feature builds rule logic and dynamically defines relationships based on variables. For instance, it can help you target such audiences who are searching for a product out of their home state.
Multi-Entity Segmentation- This segmentation feature will add flexibility to audience segments as you can define it with the additional data related to your unique business needs. You don’t need to be an expert in querying databases for this. You can add key data to your segments without making any significant changes in the cost, also you don’t need to wait for backend data to merge.
Scaling and Integration
Adobe RT-CDP offers greater scalability and flexibility with data integration of other solutions and data accessing. You can scale and send data in real-time. Integration can be done easily using cloud solutions and APIs.
