What is the difference between AEP and CDP?

Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) is Adobe's foundational data infrastructure that ingests, processes, and stores customer data from various sources. It provides services like identity resolution, data governance, and machine learning.

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform (Real-Time CDP) is a product built on top of AEP. It leverages AEP's capabilities to create unified customer profiles by combining known and anonymous data, enabling real-time personalization across channels.

What are the sources of Adobe Real-Time CDP?

Adobe CDP can ingest data from a variety of sources, including:

  • Adobe applications
  • Cloud-based storage
  • Third-party software
  • CRM systems

This Adobe CDP course explores different data collection techniques across multiple platforms.

Is Adobe CDP composable?
Yes, Adobe has introduced Federated Audience Composition (FAC), which allows for a composable approach. FAC enables marketers to create and refine audiences using raw data from external data warehouses without moving the data into Adobe's infrastructure. This approach offers flexibility and scalability, aligning with modern composable CDP architectures. 
How does Adobe CDP work?

Adobe Real-Time CDP operates by:

  • Data Ingestion: Collecting data from various sources, including Adobe apps, cloud storage, third-party software, and CRM systems.
  • Profile Unification: Combining known and anonymous data to create comprehensive customer profiles.
  • Segmentation: Utilizing AI and machine learning to segment audiences based on behavior, preferences, and other attributes.
  • Activation: Delivering personalized experiences across channels in real-time.

Learn Adobe Real-Time CDP to benefit from its numerous features and turn visitors into qualified leads. 

Is CDP part of CRM?

No, a Customer Data Platform (CDP) and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system serve different purposes:

  • CDP: Aggregates and unifies customer data from multiple sources to create a centralized customer profile, focusing on data collection and analysis.
  • CRM: Manages direct interactions with customers, focusing on sales, customer service, and relationship management.

While both systems handle customer data, they operate at different stages of the customer journey and are used for distinct purposes.
