AIQ brings order to CX chaos. Our Customer Experience Hub empowers everyone to be a CX champion by giving business teams the freedom to explore and action on customer data while helping technical teams regain control of where data lives and how it’s used.

Remember when CDPs were just about organizing customer data? Those days are gone. Customer Data Platforms are turning into something much more exciting – the heart of the AI revolution in business.

Join us to see how Uniphore and ActionIQ are positioned to make it happen with an AI-first CDP, helping you design smarter campaigns, make faster decisions, and create personalized experiences that will resonate with your customers, anywhere they are in the customer journey — without the adoption headaches. 

We’ll dive into:
- Why this shift, and how CDPs will become intelligent, AI-driven platforms
- How unstructured data can be used to personalize and categorize customers
- The use cases you can employ across your customer journey, from AI-powered decisioning to next best actions

How CDPs Just Became the Most Important Part of the AI Stack

Nearly every modern marketer is working toward the same goal – doing more with less. But B2B brands have even more pressure to increase the efficiency of their programs despite strapped budgets and complex buying groups. Reduced buyer visibility and plateaus in the performance of classically reliable B2B tactics like ABM have made delivering on pipeline goals and earning buyer trust more challenging than ever.

So is it magic or is it a unique set of buying criteria (that should just be part of your buying decision)? Gartner just released the first ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Customer Data Platforms, solidifying CDPs as a critical element of a brand’s stack. But with so many options out there, the Gartner Magic Quadrant is only one piece of the evaluation puzzle.

In this conversation with Lee Hammond, Marketing Data Stack Leader at Hakkoda and Patrick Crosby, Technology Alliances at Snowflake, we’ll discuss: why the CDP is hitting prime time with a Magic Quadrant now, and:
- What factors are behind the quadrant, and what this means for you
- The biggest trends in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, like composability and AI
- How to build a headache-free evaluation of your next CDP

Translating the Gartner Magic Quadrant: CDPs, Composability & Beyond

Brightspeed is one of countless organizations prioritizing the move toward a warehouse-first infrastructure – enabling incoming customer data to flow in a way that it’s actually accessible and actionable. That began with finding the right CDP partner that could not only support that warehouse connectivity with the marketing user in mind, but deliver the promise of long-term architectural flexibility as the business evolves.

Going into their evaluation there was one key non-negotiable: replacing data copying from their data warehouse with direct access for their five marketing teams to Google BigQuery. But this meant cutting through a lot of smoke and mirrors of reverse ETL and warehouse-only solutions that could not deliver on robust omnichannel activation capabilities.

Hear from a seasoned CDP buyer and integrator as they discuss their evaluation and why they chose ActionIQ, how they were able to deploy on their data warehouse in a matter of weeks and key marketing use cases they are now able to execute as a result of eliminating data copy.

You’ll learn:

- What use-cases you can activate with a CDP — from identity and addressability to enrichment and activation.

Life After LiveRamp

Cookie-based data is officially a thing of the past. Brands that have invested countless years and dollars in building a digital strategy around the third-party cookie—with tools like the DMP as the engine—are rethinking their approach to their tech stack. A prime example is HP, which is unlocking new opportunities by transitioning to a CDP-centric approach for targeting and augmenting customer data.

Hear from HP, along with Acxiom and ActionIQ, about its new approach for programmatic media in a post-cookie era. You’ll find out:

Why HP is embracing a CDP-centric stack to navigate the new landscape
How coupling a CDP with identity solutions can maximize paid media performance and streamline tech investments
Strategies to maximize reach and efficacy of your marketing

How HP Is Taking a CDP-Centric Strategy

Although traditional all-in-one customer data platforms (CDPs) are integral for companies, their inflexibility and inability to offer capabilities that completely satisfy both technical and marketing teams leaves businesses frustrated. For a modern, future-proof CX stack, the solution is a CDP strategy built on composable solutions.

In this webinar, leaders from Saks, ActionIQ and Snowflake explore the driving forces behind the failure of bundled CDPs and the benefits of composable CDPs — including how Saks optimizes its toolset to drive business objectives while providing organizational and architectural flexibility.

It’s the last call for marketing strategies powered by shifty identifiers and shady cookies lurking inside consumer devices and applications.

Thankfully, panic over the cookieless future is slowly giving way to optimism as leading brands rethink the way they can gain new customers. Some of these approaches include embracing owned, first-party data and extending addressability through privacy-compliant, transparent data marketplaces.

Watch this Tech-Talk Webinar, presented by ActionIQ. Our guests from HP and ActionIQ discussed emerging post-cookie and data management platform (DMP) strategies and more.
