Customer data management in real time: benefits of the Adobe Real-Time CDP
“Adobe’s Real-Time CDP is one system, and it handles all of the use cases across the customer journey — from the very beginning when they’re an unknown customer, all the way through to when they convert.”
Matt Skinner
Senior Product Marketing Manager, Adobe Audience Manager
Your organisation will likely have lots of data streams from email campaigns, website analytics, paid media, and more. The Adobe customer data platform brings all this together – giving you real-time customer data that’s easy to access, all in one place.
Combine all individual and company data — internal and external, known and unknown — into a standard taxonomy that can be activated fast using the Adobe Real-time CDP.
Imagine the personalised experiences you could deliver with all that data combined in one place and available at the tap of a button? That’s what you get with the Adobe customer data platform.
The Adobe Real-time CDP is the beating heart of your customer experience. From this dashboard you can gather known data such as users’ names, locations, and previous purchases, alongside unknown data like product searches.
Here you can create trusted customer profiles informed by customer journey analytics. Our enriched, privacy-ready profiles automatically update in real time — there’s no need to manually stitch together data.
Because your profiles update in real time within our customer data platform dashboard, you can react instantly to customer events. For example, when someone likes your Instagram post or opens an email, their profile will update.
This makes it easier to deliver the right experience at the right time – on any platform, including web, email, and social. Use our CDP marketing tools to deliver personalised experiences in the moments that matter.
Customer data is highly sensitive. You must handle it correctly and within the regulations. The Adobe Real-time CDP boasts best-in-class governance tools – empowering you to manage data with the care it deserves and demands.
· Responsibly manage customer data
· Comply with regional data policies
· Be transparent with customers
The Adobe customer data platform provides the peace of mind you and your customers demand.
Connect both your B2C and B2B data to create hybrid profiles made up of combined consumer and professional behaviour that identify and power new revenue opportunities across teams and lines of business.

CDP FAQs.
Get answers to the key questions asked by digital marketing professionals.
What is a CDP?
CDP stands for customer data platform. It’s a digital marketing tool that combines the various customer data gathered across your business – for example, email campaigns and website analytics. This data can then be assigned to individual people, enabling you to build rich customer profiles and deliver personalised content. This is different to a DMP (data management platform) which cannot assign data to individuals.
What is a CDP used for?
A CDP (customer data platform) is a digital marketing tool used to unify different strands of data gathered across your business. By assigning data to individual customers, you can create audience profiles and segments. Large organisations use CDPs to deliver personalisation at scale.
How does a customer data platform work?
A customer data platform combines data into one centralised hub or dashboard. Each interaction a person has with a brand is fed into their customer profile, which updates live in the dashboard.
What’s the difference between a CDP and a CRM?
Here’s the main difference between a CRM and a CDP:
· A CRM (customer relationship management) system is just one source of data. It will work alongside other strands in the marketing mix, such as a loyalty program or email campaigns.
· A CDP (customer data platform) brings together data strands from different sources into one centralised location to build and curate individual customer profiles.
