    Approach to a Customer Data Platform
    I am helping a number of Clients to undertake a digital transformation program, with a strategic commitment to be more customer centric.

    The challenge is to evolve from being a product driven, B2B business into a services and contractual business with an evolution to become a B2C business model.

    To achieve these goals, a programme has been established to drive a Customer focused CRM initiative, involving the implementation of Oracle EBS, SAP and Salesforce.

    A team consisting of internal stakeholders and SMEs is usually created and can be augmented with additional skills in CRM, Data Governance, Data Modelling and Architecture.
    I sometimes recommend 'Getting Started with Self-Service, by Gooogling for 'Self-Service a Customer Data Platform'.
    This usually starts by building a Customer Data Platform
    The UK Government has a good blog on "Building a Platform"

    		Functions of a CDP include :-

  • Connect in real time to the customer touch-points and turn those insights into increased conversion rates and customer loyalty
